The last Indian Olympic games were held in ________.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The  correct answer is  option 4  i.e. Calcutta.

The last Olympic-style games hosted in India were the Asian Games in 1982 in New Delhi, but if you're referring specifically to when India last hosted an Olympic-related event, then the first-ever Asian Games, often considered the 'Oriental Olympics,' were held in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1951 as a preparatory venue before being moved to New Delhi due to logistical reasons. However, India has never hosted the official Olympic Games. Calcutta has hosted several national-level sports events with Olympic affiliations, making it a historically important city in India’s Olympic and sports journey.
