Given data

• Count all Olympic gold medals won by India, including team sports.

Concept/Approach List historically recognized Indian Olympic golds and sum them.

Step-by-step tally Hockey (Men): 8 golds — 1928, 1932, 1936, 1948, 1952, 1956, 1964, 1980. Shooting: 1 gold — Abhinav Bindra, 10 m air rifle, Beijing 2008. Athletics: 1 gold — Neeraj Chopra, men's javelin throw, Tokyo 2020 (held in 2021). Total = 8 + 1 + 1 = 10.

Common pitfalls

• Confusing overall medals with golds.
• Forgetting that many of the early golds were team hockey titles.
