The 1962 Asian Games (Indonesian: Asian Games 1962, Asian Games IV, Asian Games ke-4), also known as the 4th Asian Games, IV Asiad, and Jakarta 1962, was the fourth iteration of pan-Asian multi-event games sanctioned by the Asian Games Federation (AGF), the Asian Games. The games were held from 24 August to 4 September 1962, in Jakarta, Indonesia. It was the first ever international multi-sport event hosted by the then-17 year old Southeast Asian country. This was the first of two Asian Games hosted by the city as of 2018, the second was held in 2018, with Palembang as the co-host.


Most notable controversy in the games was the exclusion of Israel and the Republic of China (ROC). Putting front the solidarity with fellow-Muslim majority countries in the Middle East and the People's Republic of China, the Indonesian government refused to issue entry visas for the Israeli and Taiwanese delegations. It was against the rules of the AGF, and Indonesia's own promise to invite all AGF members, including those with whom it had no diplomatic relations; Israel, ROC and the Republic of Korea.[2] The action would make Indonesia suspended from the International Olympic Committee and barred from the 1964 Summer Olympics, which subsequently responded by hosting the GANEFO in 1963.


A total number of 1,460 athletes, coming from 17 countries, competed in this Asiad, where badminton made its debut.

Venues


All but three official sports were held inside or around the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex, temporarily called the Asian Games Complex. The shooting event was held in Cibubur Shooting Range, in what is now lies within East Jakarta. The weightlifting and wrestling events were held at Ikada Sports Hall, now demolished to make way for the National Monument. The nearby Ikada Stadium was also used for football event, as well as Tebet football pitch, located southeast of the complex. The archery demonstration event was held at Menteng Stadium.



Sports


Weightlifting was also in the program but IWF withdrew recognition of the Asian Games competition because the Indonesian federation had not been able to guarantee that Taiwan and Israel could take part.

(November 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The Westermarck effect , or reverse sexual imprinting, is a hypothetical psychological effect through which people who live in close domestic proximity during the first few years of their lives become desensitized to sexual attraction. This phenomenon was first hypothesized by Finnish anthropologist Edvard Westermarck in his book The History of Human Marriage (1891) as one explanation for the incest taboo. Observations interpreted as evidence for the Westermarck effect have since been made in many places and cultures, including in the Israeli kibbutz system, and the Chinese Shim-pua marriage customs, as well as in biologically-related families. In the case of the Israeli kibbutzim (collective farms), children...
