In 1928, the team won its first Olympic gold medal and until 1956, the Indian men's team remained unbeaten in the Olympics, winning six gold medals in a row. In total, the Indian field hockey team has won eight Olympics gold medals, the highest among all national teams. India also won the 1975 World Cup defeating Pakistan 2-1 in the final.
In 1980, India once again became Olympic champions.

India first participated at the Olympic Games in 1900, with a lone athlete. Hockey team was dominant in Olympic competition, winning eleven medals in.
The run included 8 gold medals total and six successive gold medals from 1928"1956. @Usha + @Rishab its possible as 1 year is enough for a country progress.

I think that India has won it in the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics vs Netherlands 3-0. It was also the credit of Dhyan Chand who was the captain of our Indian Hockey Team.

It's after the independence we have won the Olympic 1948 but before that, we used to play with the British.
