India's Olympic history is marked by a series of notable achievements, starting with their first gold in hockey during the 1928 Amsterdam Games, followed by a dominance that included three consecutive golds until 1936. In the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics, India has already secured three bronze medals, with notable performances from Manu Bhaker and Swapnil Kusale. Indian athletes have a rich legacy, with figures like Karnam Malleswari, the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal in 2000, and Norman Pritchard, who won two silvers in 1900, contributing to the nation's sporting heritage. The 2024 Olympics will feature around 10,500 athletes competing across various events, including a significant participation from Indian athletes. As India aims to expand its medal tally, the legacy of its past Olympians continues to inspire the current generation. The national narrative also reflects on the complexities surrounding Pritchard's identity as both an Indian and British athlete, which remains a topic of discussion as the Olympics approach.
