In which sport did India win its first individual Olympic medal?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Check historically notable early Olympic medals for India. Norman Pritchard won two silver medals in athletics at the 1900 Paris Games, but the attribution to India has been debated and is not the commonly cited answer in Indian competitive-exam contexts.
2. The widely accepted first individual Olympic medal won for India is by K.D. Dadasaheb Jadhav, who won a bronze medal in wrestling at the $1952$ Helsinki Olympics.
3. None of the other options (Swimming, Judo, Shooting) produced India’s first individual Olympic medal before $1952$.

Therefore the correct choice is (3) Wrestling.
