After the Independence (1948), the leaders of the Sinhala community of Sri Lanka took some Majoritarian measures to establish their dominance. These are
(i) In 1956, an Act was passed which recognised Sinhala as the only official language, thus disregarding Tamil language.
(ii) Preferences were given to Sinhala applicants for university positions and government jobs, etc.
(iii) State shall promote Buddhism according to new Constitution.
(iv) Sri Lankan Tamil felt that none of the major political parties led by Buddhist Sinhala leaders were sensitive to their language and culture.
All these measures strained the relationship between the two communities.

Solution:
The Sinhalas actually tried to dominate the entire state while ruling it.
Even act was introduced in which the Sinhala was considered the official language.
Even government made such policies that supported the Sinhala community while disregarding the rights of the Tamils.
Sri Lankan Tamils highly felt resented due to this.
