Which sport is traditionally called India's national sport?
Hockey
Background
Many people guess cricket right away, but field hockey has been called India's national sport for decades. Between 1928 and 1956 the team won six Olympic golds in a row. Today cricket is much more popular, yet hockey stays strongly rooted. There is no official law making it the national sport, though.
