The democratically elected government in Sri Lanka adopted a series of majoritarian measures after its independence in 1948. It adopted Majoritarianism to establish Sinhala supremacy.

(i) In 1956, an Act was passed to recognize Sinhala as the only official language, thus disregarding the Tamilian population.

(ii) The governments followed preferential policies that favoured Sinhala applicants for government jobs and university admissions.

(iii) A new Constitution advocated that the state shall protect and promote Buddhism. All these measures taken by the government gradually increased the feeling of alienation among Sri Lankan Tamils.

Explanation:

Other two measures of Sri Lankan Government are as follows :-

  1. Srilankan Tamils felt that none of the major political parties by the Buddhist Sinhala leaders was sensitive to their language and culture.
  2. The relations between the Sinhala and Tamil communities deteriorate overtime, and it soon turned into a civil war.
