Following are the steps that the Sri Lankan government took to achieve majoritarianism:

1. The democratically elected Sri Lankan Government passed an act in the year 1956 to replace the English language with Sinhala (the language of the Sinhala people) as the official language. The government did not give any importance to the Tamil language.

2. The government of Sri Lanka formed a policy which preferred the Sinhala applicants in education and government jobs.

3. A new constitution declared that Sri Lanka would promote and protect Buddhism.

4. The government of Sri Lanka did not give citizenship to the Tamils.

5. All these steps taken by the government steadily intensified the sense of alienation.
