South Asia Solidarity Group aims to actively support people's struggles against exploitation and oppression in South Asia, and to strengthen the links between these struggles and those of Asian communities in Britain. In doing this we are resisting the attempts of the British state and the global media to distort the history and the present reality of our countries of origin , which are a potential source of strength in our struggles in this country. We seek to expose the racism and deliberate mystification in dominant analyses of South Asian issues. We aim to develop and project an understanding of the processes of transformation which are taking place in South Asia as well as globally from a revolutionary left perspective.
South Asia Solidarity Group works with a number of organisations and individuals involved in democratic, left and progressive movements in the countries of South Asia. In Britain our activities have included supporting Asian women workers demanding basic rights, organising against racist attacks, fighting repressive immigration and asylum laws, and challenging the racism of health and education policies.
