India at the World Cup

India has no medal. Neither India's men nor its women have played at a World Cup: the records in both team articles list no World Cup. The way in is the Asia Cup, where India's men have been 4th once (1975) and 13th to 16th at the last four, and India's women have been 5th at best (2013).
