Question

Please long answer for Majoritarianism in Sri Lanka ​

Answer 1

Answer:

See in the explanation. I gave the answer as you asked, please mark it as brilliant.

Explanation:

The Tamil minority in Sri Lanka had a relatively

privileged position during British colonial rule,

with the result that the Sinhalese majority entered

independence in an economically disadvantaged

position. Understandably, Sinhalese Sri Lankans

sought to use their new-found powers of majority

to improve their position. But rather than pursue

majority affirmative action, as the Malays in Malaysia

did, or attempt to craft a new sense of shared

nationhood as in Singapore, the postcolonial state

passed a set of language and citizenship laws that

denied Tamil rights and conflated Sinhalese identity

and the Buddhist faith with Sri Lankan nationhood.
