among three nations: Japan, the Philippines and China. The first games were held in

Manila, the Philippines in 1931. Other Asian nations participated after it was

organized.

After World War II, a number of Asian countries became independent. Many of

the new independent Asian countries wanted to use a new type of competition where

Asian dominance should not be shown by violence and should be strengthened by

mutual understanding. In August 1948, during the 14

India representative Guru Dutt Sondhi proposed to sports leaders of the Asian teams

the idea of having discussions about holding the Asian Games. They agreed to form

the Asian Athletic Federation. A preparatory was set up to draft the charter for the

was formed and used the name Asian Games Federation. It was formed and used the

name Asian Games Federation. It was decided to hold the first Asian Games in 1951
