[Indian Current Affairs:689] Current affairs briefing for 4th December, 2008

Hi friends,

Here we go with our link for today: http://indiancurrentaffairs.blogspot.com/2008/12/04122008.html

In today's briefing:

1.  Russian President is on a state visit and India and Russia are expected to a couple of agreements related to nuclear cooperation.

2.  IGF meets in Hyderabad.

3.  What explains the growth in the strength of the dollar?  In spite of the US economy being in doldrums?  My bet is that the corrective measures that will be put in place over the next year or two will see the dollar losing its ground.  Let us wait and see what happens.

4.  Vodafone gets a shocker from the High Court. 

5.  Ever heard of casino capitalism?  This is how the esoteric CDS, CDO market got dubbed in the article by Srivatsa Krishna.  A good read.

6.  Futures trading in some four commodities to resume.  Why was it stopped in the first place?  Remember?

7.  Why is that falling crude prices are bad?

8.  Cuba and Caricom.

9.  Biological terror attack likely by 2013, warns a blue ribbon commission of the US.  What is a blue ribbon commission?

10.  Cluster bomb treay open for signature.

11.  Ever heard of the Pinx cup?  What is the sport that it is associated with?

12.  SRK gets knighted by Malaysia.  Some details.

13.  Gulzar gets Akshaya Samman award.  A bit about the award.

14.  International Day for Persons with Disability observed.

That's it for today.  Happy reading.

Ramakrishna
