Belgium in Europe, is bordered with Netherlands, France and Germany. The population of Belgium is a little over one crore. This country has a very complex ethnic composition.
59 per cent of the total population lives in the Flemish region and speaks Dutch language
40 per cent people live in the Wallonia region and speak French.
The remaining speaks German.
In the capital city, Brussels ...
80 per cent people speak French
20 per cent are Dutch-speaking.
Ethnic Composition of Belgium
The French-speaking community which was the minority was relatively rich and powerful. The Dutch-speaking community, who got the benefit of economic development and education much later, resented it. Due to this, a number of tensions arose between the Dutch-speaking and French-speaking communities during the 1950s and 1960s. Brussels being the capital, faced the tensions more. There was a special problem there. The Dutch-speaking people constituted a majority in the country, but a minority in the capital.
Sri Lanka is an island, in the Indian Ocean near the southern tip of India.
Its population is about 2 crores. The population of Sri Lanka is diverse.
74 per cent are Sinhala-speakers
18 per cent are the Tamil-speakers
Among Tamils there are two subgroups ...........
‘Sri Lankan Tamils’
who constitute 13 per cent of the population are the Tamil natives of the country.
‘Indian Tamils’
are the rest, whose forefathers came from India as plantation workers during colonial period.
While most of the Tamils are Hindus or Muslims, most of the Sinhala-speaking people follow Buddhism. There are both Tamil and Sinhala who make up about 7 per cent, and they follow Christianity.
Sri Lanka – Cultural diversity
The Dutch community in Belgium, could take advantage of its numeric majority and force its will on the French and German-speaking population. This would aggravate the conflict among the communities further and may lead to a partition of the country with both the sides claiming control over Brussels.
In Sri Lanka, the Sinhala community could impose its will on the entire country since it enjoyed an even bigger majority.
