Hi friends,

Hope you have all received by e-greeting on the Independence Day.

Here we go with our quick links for today:

I have posted quite a few jokes on our Time Pass blog.  Do take a look.

In today's briefing:

1.  Do browse the ET's special on the Independence Day at India Empowered site.

2.  Look at what investment levels the Indian shipping industry is going to make in the next few years.

3.  Why is the government thinking of imposing a cess on open cast mining?

4.  Remember the Egmont Group? Look at the progress the FIU has made in regard to tracking of monetary transactions.

5.  Is all the hoopla about 150 years of Independence Struggle correct?  It is only hype.  We should not be taken in for it.  I have always believed in this.  But today I found a more mature and reasoned way of putting it across from SSSA Aiyar.  Take a look at his centre page article in ET today.  You will understand why.  It could be a possible question for you in Mains.

Happy reading.

Ramakrishna
