  Indian scientists began to work on the theoretical aspects of LHC physics
from the early 1980s, at the same time when the rest of the world started
taking interest in this then-futuristic topic. From this point grew a whole
school of collider phenomenologists, who now form a significant fraction of the
Indian high-energy physics community. This article briefly reviews the growth
and contributions of the Indian school, on the way describing some of the
physics ideas while placing the work in the international context, and
proceeding thus, brings the story up to date in mid-2022.
