The correct answer is

1928

India won its first Olympic gold medal in field hockey at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, with Dhyan Chand as the top scorer.

India went on to win gold again in 1932 (Los Angeles) and 1936 (Berlin).

1948 (London) was the first Olympic hockey gold won by India as an independent nation.

1952 (Helsinki) was another gold in the run of victories that continued in 1956.

Hence, 1928.
