Answer:
In Belgium, there was a proper power-sharing arrangement between the French and Dutch. The transformation of Belgium from the unitary government to a federal one prevented a possible division of the country on linguistic lines.
In Sri Lanka, the policies of the government sought to ensure the dominance of the Sinhala-speaking majority. The Tamils in Sri Lanka demanded a federal arrangement of power sharing to protect their culture, language, and equality of opportunity in education and jobs.
