Explanation:
Belgium is a region comprising of French speaking, Dutch speaking and German speaking people. In 1993, the Belgium government modified its Constitution to accommodate the diversity of the land and provided for equal rights and opportunities for all communities. This resulted in representation for all the different groups and strengthened the unity of the country. Belgium thus upheld the true spirit of democracy.
However, in Sri Lanka, the government recognized the majority community of Sinhalese while the minority Tamil community was oppressed and ignored. This led to ethnic riots and the rise of groups like LTTE. The country is still suffering from ethnic tensions and communal disharmony.
