At which Summer Olympic Games did India make its first appearance as an independent nation and win a gold medal in men's hockey?
London Summer Olympic Games
India made its first appearance as an independent nation at the 1948 London Summer Olympic Games, having gained independence just a year earlier in 1947.
At these Games, the Indian men's hockey team won the gold medal, continuing the country's dominance in the sport that had begun in the pre-independence era under British colonial rule.
This victory held special significance as it was achieved under India's own flag for the first time, symbolising the nation's sporting identity as a newly independent country.
Hence, the answer is London Summer Olympic Games.
