●All these government measures gradually increased the feeling of alienation among the Sri Lankan Tamils.
●They felt that none of the major political parties led by buddhist sinhala leaders was sensitive to their language and culture.
●They felt that constitution and government policies denied them equal social, political and cultural rights, discriminated them in getting jobs and seats in universities and ignored their interest.
●As a result the relations between tamils and sinhalas in Sri Lanka started straining and led to civil war.
