Question

What factors led to civil war in sri lanka 0?

Answer 1

1. Government adopted majoritarian measure to establish Sinhala supremacy. In 1956 an act was passed to recognise Sinhala as the only official language thus disregarding Tamil.

2. the governments followed politics that favoured Sinhala applicants for university positions and government jobs.

3. a new constitution stipulated that the state shall protect and foster Buddhism.

4. Sri Lankan Tamils felt that none of the major political parties led by the Buddhist Sinhala leaders were sensitive to their language and culture.

5. as a result the relations between th Sinhala and Tamil communities strained overtime and it soon turned into a Civil War.
