HEY MATE,

Sri Lankan Tamils felt alienated because:

(i) Govt adopted majoritarian measure to establish Sinhala Supremacy. In 1956, an Act was passed to recognise Sinhala as the only official language thus disregarding Tamil.

(ii) The govts followed preferential politics that favoured Sinhala applicants for university positions and government jobs.

(iii) A new Constitution stipulated that the state shall protect and foster Buddhism.

(iv) Sri Lankan Tamils felt that none of the major political parties led by the Buddhist Sinhala leaders were sensitive to their language and culture.

(v) As a result, the relations between the Sinhala and Tamil communities strained overtime and it soon turned into a Civil War.

HEY MATE,

After independence in 1948 the democratically elected Sri Lankan Government adopted a series of Majoritarian measures to establish Sinhala supremacy by passing an Act in 1956. The measures were like;

(i) Sinhala was recognised as the only official language in Sri Lanka. Tamil language was not given due importance.

(ii) The Sri Lankan Government formulated a policy in which only Sinhala applicants were preferred for job in university and other Government jobs.

(iii) The new constitution of Sri Lanka declared that the Buddhism would be promoted by the state.

(iv) Thus, all these government measures coming after one another, gradually increased the feeling of alienation.
