The Commonwealth Games are the 19th Commonwealth Games. The

games are scheduled to be held in Delhi, India between 3 October and14 October 2010.

Shera, mascot of the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi, is the

most visible face of the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi. His

name comes from the Hindi word Sher ± meaning tiger. Shera truly

represents the modern Indian. He is an achiever with a positive

attitude, a global citizen but justifiably proud of his nation¶s ancient

heritage.



The logo for the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi is inspired

by the µChakra¶, the national symbol of freedom, unity and power.

Spiraling upwards, it depicts the growth of India into a proud, vibrant

nation.

The logo tagline ³COME OUT AND PLAY´ is in an invitation to

every person across all divides ± Indian and Commonwealth to let go

of themselves and participate in the Games to the best of their abilities, in the true spirit of the Games



R everend Ashley Cooper was the first person to propose the idea of

having a Pan-Britannic sporting contest to foster a spirit of goodwilland understanding within the British Empire.

In 1928, a key Canadian athlete, Bobby R obinson, was given the

task of organizing the first ever Commonwealth Games. These

Games were held in 1930, in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canadaand saw the participation of 400 athletes from eleven countries.

Since then, the Commonwealth Games have been held every four

years, except for the period during the Second World War. The

Games have been known by various names such as British Empire

and Commonwealth Games which changed to British

Commonwealth Games in 1970 and assumed the current name of the

Commonwealth Games in 1978. Since 1978, they have been known

as the Commonwealth Games.



The two principal bids for the 2010 Commonwealth Games werefrom Delhi, India and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

A ballot of members was held in November 2003 at the

Commonwealth Games Federation General Assembly in MontegoBay, Jamaica.

Delhi bid won by a margin of 46 votes to 22, confirming India's first

successful bid for the Games.
