The leaders of the Sinhala community sought to secure dominance over government by virtue of their majority by following various measures like :

1.  An Act was passed in 1956 which recognized Sinhala as the only official language and thus discriminated Tamil.

2.  Privileges and promotion of Buddhism under Constitution.

3.  No or less share in education, employment and political representation to Tamils.
