'''[[India]]''' competed at the '''[[2008 Summer Olympics]]''' in [[Beijing]], [[People's Republic of China]]. India was represented by the [[Indian Olympic Association]] (IOA). A contingent of 56 athletes represented India, and they had a support-staff of 42 officials. The [[Athletics (sport)|athletics]] contingent was the largest, with 17 athletes.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/india-names-57member-squad-for-beijing-olympics/69524-5.html | title=India names 57-member squad for Beijing Olympics | publisher=[[CNN-IBN]] | work=[[Press Trust Of India]] | date=Aug 12, 2008 | accessdate=May 19, 2011}}</ref>
For the first time since [[1928 Summer Olympics|1928]], the [[Indian Men's Hockey Team]] was unable to take part in the Summer Olympics due to its failure to qualify. A two-year ban imposed by the [[International Weightlifting Federation]] after the [[2006 Commonwealth Games]] doping scandal originally resulted in only one Olympic weightlifter, [[Monika Devi]] from India being scheduled to compete, but she too failed a drug test, and was also withdrawn. However, on August 9 it was declared she was clean, but the event she was supposed to participate in, had already closed.<ref>{{cite news

On August 11, 2008, [[Abhinav Bindra]] won the gold medal in the [[Shooting at the 2008 Summer Olympics - Men's 10 metre air rifle|men's 10m air rifle]] [[Shooting at the 2008 Summer Olympics|shooting]] event. In doing so, he won the [[India at the Olympics|first ever individual]] gold medal for India, and the first medal in any event for India at the Beijing Games. The previous highest individual achievements for India were two silver medals won by [[Norman Pritchard]], an Englishman born in India representing Great Britain, at the [[1900 Paris Olympics]] and one silver medal won by the 2008 flagbearer [[Rajyavardhan Rathore]] at the [[2004 Athens Olympics]]. [[Sushil Kumar (wrestler)|Sushil Kumar]] won the second ever wrestling medal for India, the first being the bronze earned by [[Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav]] in the [[1952 Helsinki Olympics]]. [[Vijender Kumar]] won a bronze medal in the middleweight boxing category, having lost in the semifinals. This was India's first-ever Olympic medal in boxing.
The [[2008 Beijing Olympics]] saw the best ever performance by an Indian contingent, in terms of the number of medals. They won three medals in all (one gold and two bronze medals), surpassing the two silvers by [[Norman Pritchard]] in [[India at the 1900 Summer Olympics|1900 Paris Olympics]] <ref>http://www.olympic.org/uk/athletes/results/search_r_uk.asp?KEYWORD=Pritchard&x=0&y=0&RESULT=TRUE&KEYWORDS=%22Pritchard*%22</ref> and the gold and bronze medals won by the Indian field hockey team and [[Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav]] respectively, at the [[India at the 1952 Summer Olympics|1952 Helsinki Olympics]].
