• The 1% of people in Belgium speak German.
• The situation in the capital city Brussels is totally different from whole country.
• In Brussels, 80% of the people speak French where as there are only 20% of the people who speak Dutch.
• The minority of French were rich and powerful.
• This resented did at speaking community to get the benefits of economic development and growth much later than the French speaking community.
• This is why tension was created between both the communities in 1950s and 1960s.
• The accommodation in Belgium helped to overcome this problem.

Sri-Lanka:-

• Sri-Lanka is a small Island nation a few kilometres away from the southern coast of Indian nation.
• It has population of over 2 crore people.
• It has a diverse ethnic composition.
• The major social community is of Sinhala speakers of about 74%.
• The Tamils are about 18% from which 13% are Sri Lankan Tamils and the rest are Indian Tamil.
• The Sri Lankan Tamils are mostly concentrated in the Northern and Eastern part of the country.
• Sinhalas are mostly found to be Buddhist, where as Tamils are found to be Hindus or muslims. There is also a 7% population of Christians who are both Tamil and Sinhalas.
• The Sri lanka emerged independent in 1948 after which the Sinhala community tried to take dominance over the country.
• The government hence adopted majorities and establish Sinhala as the the official language.
• In 1956, a law was passed which maids in the official language. Further, Buddhism was made the official religion and the sellers were favoured to get university positions and government jobs.
• These laws and government measures made the Tamil specially the Sri Lankan Tamils feel alienated, and hence they launched many parties and struggles which was ignored.
