1928 Olympic was held in Amsterdam which stayed in Netherlands. On that times, it was a capital of that country.

I have an doubt in 1928 India was under the control of British then how can India participated in Olympics?

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.

Its all done by the magician of the hockey the great major Dhyan Chand he was the person to do such a magic.

India won because of their hard work and practice. Therefore they win gold medal.

India won gold in its fist olympic event itself.

That was the 1928 Games in Amsterdam when they defeated The Netherlands in the finals, 3-0.
