Answer 2

Mention one step which was taken by Sri Lankan Government to create majoritarianism

Explanation:

• As the official language across the nation of Sri Lanka, Sinhala was recognized, and the Tamil language was not given the deserved importance. The Government of Sri Lanka adopted a strategy wherein only Sinhala candidates were favoured for university and other government positions.
• Sri Lanka's new Constitution declared the state's promotion of Buddhism. Thus, the feeling of alienation gradually increased amongst Tamil Srilankan as all these government measures were introduce  one after another.
