Current affairs briefing for 16th April, 2008

Hi friends,

Here goes our link for today:

http://indiancurrentaffairs.blogspot.com/2008/04/16042008.html

In today's briefing:

1.  Insider trading goes into PMLA.  What does this mean?

2.  Foodgrain production to be only 208 mn tonnes?

3.  Indian farms to get about Rs. 25,000 crore more for increasing productivity.  Try to notice some possible points for discussion there.

4.  A look India's gem and jewellery industry growth.

5.  The food vs. fuel debate.

6.  Why is Friedman wrong on inflation when it comes to India?  Look at SSA Aiyar's arguments.  A very good article.

7.  Ever heard of the 'bank in a box' concept?

8.  Can a strong rupee fight inflation?  Some sound arguments on this.

That's it for today.

Happy reading.

PS:  I will be out of town for two days.  So, there won't be posts for two days -- tomorrow and the day after.
