What led to the civil war in Sri Lanka?
The origins of the Sri Lankan Civil War lie in the continuous political rancor between the majority Sinhalese and the minority Tamils. The roots of the modern conflict lie in the British colonial rule when the country was known as Ceylon.

The main reasons for the civil war in Sri Lanka were-
Britishers policy of discrimination from colonial times. They adopted policy of giving more representation to Tamils in education , jobs, government civil services both at higher and lower post. While the population of Sinhalese were in majority.
Adoption of parliamentary democracy with majoritarian rule where Tamil could never gain majority in the system.
Discrimination towards Tamils . Sinhalese language made the only official language in 1956. Tamil made to resign from government jobs. Restriction for Tamils in college education, Tamil media and literature banned this leads to riots in 1956,58,77 and 83.
Formation of LTTE in 1972 with their ultimate demand of Eelum.
Indian-Sri Lanka peace accord and continue interference of India in Sri Lanka
