Question

what are the consequences of majoritarian practise in srilanka

​

Answer 1

Consequences of majoritarian policies adopted by Sri
Lankan Government were :

 (a) Tamils felt the
government was not sensitive about Tamil language and culture because Sinhala
was declared the official language.

 (b) Tamils felt
discriminated against securing jobs and education which were given
preferentially to the Sinhala speakers.

(c) Tamils felt the government was practising religious
discrimination because the State fostered Buddhism. Relations between Tamils
and Sinhalese thus became strained.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The majoritarian measures taken in Sri Lanka to establish Sinhala supremacy were:

1) In 1956, an act was passed to recognize Sinhala as the only official language, thus disregarding Tamil.

2) University positions and government jobs, favoured Sinhala applicants.

3) A new constitution was stipulated to protect and spread Buddhism.

4) The Sri Lankan Tamils felt that none of the major political parties led by the Buddhist Sinhala leaders were sensitive to their language and culture and denied them equal political rights which led to increased feeling of alienation among them.
