Question

can anyone explain me why was the conflict in Belgium and Sri lanka , class 10 civics​

Answer 1

Answer:

Causes of conflict in Belgium were:

a. Diverse ethnic composition - Belgium is a linguistically diverse country comprising of Dutch speaking, French speaking and the German speaking people in different regions of Belgium. One may give example of 59% of population residing in the Flemish region and speaks Dutch language.​

b. Ethnic compostion in Brussels- Capital city of Belgium presented a different problem, where Dutch constituted the minority and the French speaking constituted the majority though the French were minority in the country.

c. Economic factor- Tensions primarily erupted between these linguistically diverse groups due to the economic gap that existed between the French and dutch speaking communities. The French who were minority in the country were relatively richer, influential and powerful and accrued the benefits of economic development. The Dutch speaking who were majority in the country got benefits of economic development much later, widening the gap between the two communities.

Causes of Conflict in Sri Lanka:

 a. An island country known for is linguistic, ethnic diversity.

b. The country is home to Sinhalese who are in majority and Tamils, and other ethnic groups which are in minority.

c. Though the country claimed to be a democracy, the nation never provided for power sharing between the Sinhala and the Tamils.

d. The Sinhala community established its supremacy by pursuing the policy of Majoritarianism and by adopting various measures like  The Sri Lankan constitution which did not give recognition to the minority group and instead recognised Sinhala as the official language.

e. The Tamils there, have been deprived of their basic civil political rights and have been the victims of discrimination.

State policies also sought to give preference to the Sinhala community in terms of jobs and educational institutions.Tamils dominated regions have been deprived of autonomy. Political leaders and parties have been insensitive to the demands of the minority group.

f. The country witnessed the rise of militant group LTTE and the worst form of civil war killing thousands and displacing many.

g. The government of Sri Lanka started massive offensive strife against the LTTE from 2006, and claimed to defeat LTTE in 2009. 

h. It brought about worst form of human rights violation.

Answer 2

Here is ur answer:

(i) Type of Government: Sri Lanka continues to be, for all practical purpose, a unitary system where the national government has all the powers. Tamil leaders want Sri Lanka to become a federal system under which the regional governments were given constitutional powers that were no longer dependent on the central ‘government. Belgium shifted from a unitary to a federal form of government.

(ii) Religion and Government : To accommodate people belonging to different ethnic groups Belgium formed a ‘community government’ whereas Sri Lankan government passed a law to protect and promote Buddhism.

(iii) Language and government : In 1956 Sri Lankan government passed an act to recognize Sinhala as the only official language whereas Belgium government “tried to protect and foster all the languages spoken by the people.
