Who was India's first-ever gold medallist at the Asian Games?
Sachin Nag
The question asks who won India's first-ever gold medal at the Asian Games.
The inaugural Asian Games were held in New Delhi in 1951, hosted by India, and served as the first major multi-sport continental event for Asian nations after independence.
Swimmer Sachin Nag won the gold medal in the men's 100 metres freestyle, thereby becoming independent India's first Asian Games gold medallist.
KD Jadhav was a wrestler who famously won a bronze at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, an Olympic rather than an Asian Games first, so he does not fit here.
PT Usha was a celebrated track-and-field athlete of a much later era (1980s), and Kanti Shah is not associated with this achievement, so those options are incorrect.
Hence India's first-ever Asian Games gold medallist was Sachin Nag.
