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 14

Olympic Game in London, 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 Asian amateur athletic federation. In

February, 1949, the Asian athletic federation 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 in New Delhi the

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

every four years.
