Answer:

Dispute between Sinhala and Tamil communities in Sri Lanka:

The leaders of the Sinhala community sought to secure dominance over government by virtue of their majority.

In 1956, an Act was passed to recognise Sinhala as the only official language, thus disregarding Tamil.

The governments followed preferential policies that favoured Sinhala applicants for university positions and government jobs.

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

These developments instigated a feeling of alienation among the Sri Lankan Tamils.
