HAPPINESS MEASUREMENT - A FICTION OF FAKE DEMOCRACIES

Happiness measurement positively correlates to Jeremy Bentham’s Utilitarian Theory. Modern day democratic countries measure happiness. If most of its citizens are happy then the respective democracy claims that utilitarianism is perceived. Democratic countries in the world are actually Rule of Law propagating nations. The patterns of rule of law are different in different kinds of democracies viz., communist, socialists, republics, unions, etc. The world Democracy usually denotes justness. The justness within people, prevalence of justness, justness in laws, justness in judicial system. Justness in social order, etc. If the said justness in not prevailing then such democracies cannot be coined as real or ideal democracies. Such democracies became fake democracies. Happiness measurement in such democracies becomes fiction. Such a situation denotes failure of constitutional machinery. All rights persist in unjust people. Actually whatever utilitarianism is perceived is for unjust people. Whatever rights are available, enjoyed, etc. by just people becomes meaningless because means available for them are unjust, unethical, unconstitutional, etc.
