Answer:
1. The minority French-speaking community was relatively rich and powerful.
This was resented by the Dutch-speaking community who got the benefit of economic development and education much later.
This led to tensions between the Dutch-speaking and French-speaking communities during the 1950s and 1960s.
The tension between the two communities was more acute in Brussels. Brussels presented a special problem: the Dutch-speaking people constituted a majority in the country, but a minority in the capital.
2. a) In 1956, an Act was passed to recognise Sinhala as the only official language, thus disregarding Tamil.
b) The governments followed preferential policies that favoured Sinhala applicants for university positions and government jobs.
c) A new constitution stipulated that the state shall protect and foster Buddhism.
(optional) d) All these government measures, coming one after the other, gradually increased the feeling of alienation among the Sri Lankan Tamils. They felt that none of the major political parties led by the Buddhist Sinhala leaders was sensitive to their language and culture. (write this point for some hoshiyari)
