Who was the first Indian to win a gold medal at the Olympic Games (individual event) before independence?
A. Milkha Singh
B. K. D. Jadhav
C. Dhyan Chand
D. Norman Pritchard
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The Indian hockey team, led by Dhyan Chand, won gold in 1928, 1932, and 1936 Olympics. For individual medals, Norman Pritchard won two silver medals in athletics in 1900, representing India. But if we consider individual gold, nobody won. However, Dhyan Chand was part of the team. Question might be tricky; I'll rephrase to avoid ambiguity. I'll remove this and provide another question.
