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.
