Amit Singh Bakshi (17 September 1925 – 22 June 2024) was an Indian athlete and field hockey player.[1]
Bakshi won a gold medal as a member of the men's 4x400m relay team, and a silver medal in men's 400 metres at the 1951 Asian Games in New Delhi.
He won a gold medal as a member of the India national team at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne.[2] Originally a backup member, he was added to the squad only when Gursewak Singh was declared medically unfit. Bakshi played in just one game, India's 16-0 victory over USA in the group stage.[3] He played for Services in the Senior National Hockey Championship, captaining them to the title in 1953 and 1956, and the runner-up position in 1954.
Bakshi was a Wing Commander in the Indian Air Force, and was later released to Air India as a commercial pilot.
