'''[[British Raj|India]]''' competed at the '''[[1924 Summer Olympics]]''' in [[Paris]], [[France]]; this was the third [[India at the Olympics|Olympics where India participated]].
Some months ahead of the Olympics, in Feb 1924, the All India Olympic Games (that later became the [[National Games of India]]) were held at Delhi. A few sportsmen from these games were selected to represent India at the 1924 Paris Olympics: Dalip Singh, Lakshmanan, Hinge, Hall, Pala Singh, Pitt, Heathcote, and Venkataraman. The Indian team eventually comprised seven athletes and seven-eight tennis players ([http://www.thehindu.com/sport/tennis/when-polley-made-history-in-paris/article3635901.ece including two women]), with [[Harry Buck|Harry Crowe Buck]] as manager. The team [http://www.newindianexpress.com/education/edex/article578298.ece?service=print trained] at the Madras (YMCA) College of Physical Education where Buck was founding principal.
