Being a member of South Asian Zone, India also participates in the South Asian Games, sub-regional Games for South Asia. The OCA organises five major continental - level multi-sport events : the Asian Summer Games ( which are commonly known as the Asian Games ), Asian Winter Games, Asian Indoor - Martial Arts Games, Asian Beach Games, and Asian Youth Games. Before 2009, Indoor and Martial Arts were two separate events for indoor and martial arts sports respectively. However, the OCA has since amalgamated them into a single event, the Asian Indoor - Martial Arts Games, which was debuted in 2013 in Incheon, South Korea. As a member of OCA, India is privileged to participate in all these multi-sport events. Hosted Games New Delhi, the national capital of India, has hosted the Asian Games on two occasions : the inaugural 1951 Asian Games and the 1982 Asian Games.
