In which year were the first National Games of independent India held?
1948
1948 is correct.
The National Games of India began as the Indian Olympic Games in 1924 at Lahore, held before independence. The first edition held after India became independent in August 1947 was the 1948 National Games at Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
After 1948 the Games continued at irregular intervals, so 1950, 1954 and 1960 are all later editions rather than the first one. Since independence came in 1947, the first National Games of independent India took place in 1948 at Lucknow.
