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
th 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.
