Question

How majoritarianism resulted social tension in sri lanka?

Answer 1

Answer:

• As the Sinhala community constituted major percentage of Sri Lanka 's population,they adopted a series of majoritarianism to show their supremacy.
• They dominated the Sri Lankan parliament and declared sinhala as the official language.
• They gave more privileges to Sinhalese people in terms of jobs and universities thus disregarding Tamils.
• They also decided to foster Buddhism in the country which further created a feeling of alienation among Tamils.
• so the Tamils began demanding some demands like recognition of Tamil as the official language, more autonomy in Tamil provinces which were repeatedly denied by sinhala leaders.
• These all led to many social tension in Sri Lanka which resulted in a civil war in the country.
