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)
