The most important change that recently took place in India is "demonetization", PM N.Modi, announced it on Nov, 8 that 500 & 1000 Rs. note will be replaced by new 500 & 2000 rupee note.
Recently, J.Jayalalita (Former CM of Tamil Nadu) died 'cause of Heart attack & dehydration and as she was a good leader it's a major movement in India
Hope this helps!
