Indian National Badminton Championships

The Indian National Badminton Championships is a tournament organized to crown the best badminton players in India since 1934. Until the 1960s, foreign players could compete in the championships. That is why the Dane Erland Kops is in the winners' lists.

The championships are locally now referred to as the All Indian National Badminton Championships. The National title in India for Men's Singles is played for the "Vikas Topiwala Challenge Cup", Men's Doubles for the "Calcutta Badminton Cup", Women's Singles for the "Olympian Badminton Challenge Cup", Women's Doubles for the "All India Badminton Association Cup" and Mixed Doubles for the "Burdwan Challenge Cup".
