A civil war is a war which is fought between different groups of people who live in the same country.
Background
Sri lanka comprises of 70% Sinhalese and 30% Native Sri lankan Tamils.
Issue
1956, ‘Sinhala Only Act’ made Sinhalese as the only official language of the island. Many Tamils lost their jobs lacking fluency comparing to Native Sinhalese.
A Sinhalese Buddhist can only become the President of SL. This made Tamils as secondary Citizens on their homelands.
Tamils protested again this discrimination in Non violent methods.
In 1983, GOSL sponsored Sinhalese mob attacked Tamils. Many Tamils lost their life and property.
