Current affairs briefing for 4th April, 2011

[Ramakrishna C]

Hi friends,

Here we go with our link for today: http://indiancurrentaffairs.blogspot.com/2011/04/04042011.html

In today's briefing:

1.  It is only yesterday or the day before that we have been gloating about Tiger population.  Now the chinks in the armour are out.  The figures are being questioned.

2.  A 5000 year old vedic ritual is being performed in Kerala.  It is really special.  Some details for us.

3.  That IMF has double standards is not new to us.  But what is new is an admission of the guilt by the IEO of IMF itself.

4.  Bradford Delong explains to us how liquidity squeeze controls inflation.

5.  Why do NBFCs outpeform banks in areas that the latter cannot?

6.  Some interesting figures about telecom's contribution to GDP.

7.  Pointer to a good graphic on state finances.

8.  Language lessons: skulduggery, eclectic, pedagogy, mea culpa.

That's it for today.  Happy reading.
