[Indian Current Affairs:780] Current affairs briefing for 6th April, 2009

Hi friends,


In today's briefing:

1.  You do something; I will wreck it.  I do something; you wreck it.  This is how the Rajasthan government scheme about financial inclusion is hanging fire.

2.  Satyam's CFO gives clean chit to PWC auditors.

3.  Why is the only banks are seen as 'too big to fail' but not manufacturing behemoths like GM?

4.  G20's agreement to take action against non-cooperative jurisdictions like Mauritius should hurt India; isn't it?  But it doen't.  How?

5.  Titbit about CFSA.  What does it stand for?

6.  How did the US dollar come to occupy prime place in international trade?  An excellent article from SSA Aiyar.

7.  Can you list out the achievements of the recent G20 summit?  Compare your list with the one given in the blog.  What are its failures?

8.  IMF asked to sell gold to assist poor countries.  How much gold does it hold?

9.  North Korea fires a long range rocket.  And invites international opprobrium.  

10.  Jupiter's 'great red spot'.  What is it about?  Why is it in the news?

11.  Language lessons: ferul, mordant, droll.

That's enough for today.  Happy reading.
