The user query asks about "what happened in 17 in India." The phrase is quite ambiguous — it could relate to a particular event occurring on the 17th day of a month in India, or something specifically related to the number 17 in India, or the year 17 (ancient history). Starting with the most relevant interpretation:
- Events occurring in India on the 17th of September (from current calendar).
- Major events in the year 2017 in India.
- Historical significance of the number 17 in India or any event linked with this number.
From the search results:
- September 17 is marked by Vishwakarma Puja, an important Hindu festival dedicated to the divine architect Vishwakarma, widely celebrated by artisans, engineers, and craftsmen in India. It is also World Patient Safety Day. Moreover, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday is on 17th September.
- For the year 2017 in India, significant events included the start of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on July 1, political changes in various states, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and elections. Several key political changes, infrastructure openings, and disasters took place in 2017.
