The 1952 World Table Tennis Championships were held in Bombay from 1 to 10 February 1952. The 1952 World Championships were marked by the arrival of the Japanese as a Table Tennis force on the world scene. In another first, the Chief Referee of the tournament was an Indian, Professor Arakalgud Subbarao.[1]
India was chosen as the hosts for the event in March 1950 at the Congress of the International Table Tennis Federation in Budapest, Hungary.[2] Because the Championships were held in India, the entry was reduced. Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Austria and Sweden were all unable to travel to the tournament.[3]
