The Asian Games owes its origins to small Asian multi-sport competitions. The Far Eastern

Championship Games were created to show unity and cooperation 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 14th Olympic Games in

London, Indian 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 committee was set up to draft the charter for the Asian

amateur athletic federation. In February, 1949, the Asian athletic federation was formed and

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

New Delhi the capital of India. They added that the Asian Games would be regularly held once

every four years.
