Answer 2

Sri Lanka emerged as an Independent country in 1948. The Sinhala community was in majority so they had formed the government. As a result, the democratically elected government adopted a series of majoritarian measures to establish Sinhala supremacy -

➡️ In 1956, an act was passed to recognise Sinhala as the only official language of Sri Lanka, thus disregarding Tamils.

➡️ The goverments followed preferential policies that favoured Sinhala applicants for university positions and goverment jobs.

➡️ A new constitution stipulated that the state shall protect and foster Buddhism.
