Question

explain power sharing in sri lanka​

Answer 1

Answer:

When Sri Lankan became an independent country in 1948, the leaders of the Sinhala community wanted to secure their dominance over the Government by virtue of their majority. In 1956, an Act was passed to recognize Sinhala as the only official language, thereby disregarding Tamil. Moreover, a new constitution stipulated that the state shall protect and foster Buddhism. All these newly implemented back-to-back measures gradually gave rise to the feeling of alienation among the Sri Lankan Tamils. As a result, the relations between the Sinhala and the Tamil communities strained over time. The Sri Lankan Tamils launched parties and struggles. But their demand for more autonomy to provinces populated by the Tamils was repeatedly denied. The distrust between the two communities turned into a widespread conflict and soon took the shape of a Civil War. The social, cultural, and economic growth of the country suffered a terrible setback because of the civil war.

In a sharp contrast to the Belgium case-study, the Sri Lanka case-study demonstrates that if a majority community wants to impose its dominance over others and refuses to share power, it can undermine the unity and the safety of the country.

Answer 2

In 1956 an act was passed which recognized the Sinhala language as the country's only official language. Additionally, the Sinhalese were granted privileged positions in government employment.

• Explanation:
• Sri Lankan Tamils formed parties and began fighting for Tamil to be recognised as an official language. Several political parties were founded through the 1980s. In northern and eastern parts of Sri Lanka they requested an independent Tamil Eelam (State). Everything this quickly became a Civil War, causing chaos in the country.
• In 1948 the island nation Ri Lanka became an autonomous State.
• This had two significant races, the Sinhalese (74%) and the Tamilians (18%). They voted themselves to power, as the Sinhalese were in the majority.
• The Sinhalese leaders then pursued a series of majoritarian strategies to ascertain their community's hegemony.
