We wish all India Today readers a very Happy New Year!
Happy new year! The 21st century, which gave history Facebook, the iPod, the fall of the Twin Towers, and the elections of Barack Obama, Donald Trump and 
Narendra Modi, has reached adulthood!
As we say goodbye to 2017, we remember some of the moments that defined the year. Modi's BJP crushed its opponents in election after election , Virat Kohli and 
Anushka Sharma tied the knot, India got a new Miss World in Manushi Chhillar, and the government united all of India's territories under a single tax regime.
Elsewhere, Donald Trump, Americas's 45th president, completed a year in office. TIME magazine honoured women who spoke out against sexual harassment, and a procession of celebrities saw their careers destroyed by revelations of sexual misconduct.
At home, an online challenge called Blue Whale caused many to commit suicide. India got its first ever full-time woman defence minister in 
Nirmala Sitharaman. We said tearful goodbyes to Om Puri and Shashi Kapoor.
In the coming days, as you begin to reflect on the year that has passed, read our retrospective pieces on 2017.
And once again, happy new year!
