Answer 2

Hi! Buddy

Here is your Answer :

The majoritarian measures taken in Sri Lanka to establish Sinhala supremacy were:

1) In 1956, an act was passed to recognize Sinhala as the only official language, thus disregarding Tamil.

2) University positions and government jobs, favoured Sinhala applicants.

3) A new constitution was stipulated to protect and spread Buddhism.

4) The Sri Lankan Tamils felt that none of the major political parties led by the Buddhist Sinhala leaders were sensitive to their language and culture and denied them equal political rights which led to increased feeling of alienation among them.
