Answer:
Majoritarianism is a political philosophy which asserts that a majority of the population (majority by language, religion or any other identifying factor) has the right to take decisions affecting the society. It means submission of the minority group to the majority group for all the decisions affecting their lives.
Problems that emerged in Sri Lanka:
Majoritarianism has increased the feeling of alienation among the Sri Lankan Tamils. They felt that the constitution and government policies denied them equal political rights, discriminated against them in getting jobs and other opportunities and ignored their interests. The relation between the Sinhala and Tamil communities strained over time. The Sri Lankan Tamils launched parties and struggles for the recognition of Tamil as an official language, for Regional autonomy and equality of opportunity in securing education and jobs. By 1980s several political organisation were formed demanding an independent Tamil Eelam (state) in northern and eastern parts of Sri Lanka. The distrust between the two communities turned into widespread conflict. It soon turned into a civil war (A civil war is a violent conflict between various groups in a country itself often due to undermining of a particular group's interests sentiments by the other group). The civil war has caused a terrible setback to the social, cultural and economic life of the country
