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 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 of Asian
Games Federation. It was decided to hold the first Asian Games in 1951 in New Delhi the capital of
