The CWI gained its first Indian supporters after their discussions with the group's executive committee member Peter Taaffe in 1977. [1] [ better source needed ]

New Socialist Alternative actively supports Tamil Solidarity, an international campaign working for the rights of the people of Sri Lanka, and has sought the closure of a camp for the detention of Tamil refugees in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. [2] [3]

The party has criticised the FIFA World Cup being used to channel large amounts of public money into private hands. [4]
