Шаблон:Short description

Traditional sports of India were showcased as an exhibition alongside the 1936 Summer Olympics. It is known that the sports of kabaddi, kho kho and mallakhamba were demonstrated.[1][2] A 35-member contingent from the Hanuman Vyayam Prasarak Mandal (HVPM) physical education institute demonstrated the events, and were not considered part of the official Indian team.[1][3] The sports' inclusion was spearheaded by HVPM Vice President Dr. Siddhanath Kane, who successfully lobbied Olympic organizer Carl Diem for permission to exhibit them.[1][4]

The sports were not recognized as official demonstration sports by the International Olympic Committee.[5] However, the contingent were awarded an honorary medal by Adolf Hitler, who was said to have been impressed by the displays.[4][6][7]
