Describe any three demands of the Sri Lankan Tamils.
How did they struggle for their demands?
Answers
Disillusioned by the government's Majoritarian Policy, the Sri Lankan Tamil started their struggle. They wanted
1. recognition of Tamil as an official language,
2. regional autonomy
3. equality of opportunity in securing education and jobs. These were their three demands.
But i.e., the demands of the Sri Lankan Tamils for more autonomy to provinces populated by the Tamils were reportedly rejected. By the 1980s, several political organisations were formed demanding an independent Tamil Eelam (state) in Northern and Eastern parts of Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan Tamil launched their own political party LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam).
The conflict between the two communities turned into widespread conflict and it soon turned into a Civil War. As a result, thousands of people of both the communities have been killed and this caused a terrible setback to the social, cultural and economic life of the country.
Their three demands are.
- to recognize Tamil language as an official language.
- Regional autonomy.
- Equality of opportunities is securing education and jobs.
