Answer:
the tension between sinhalese and tamils led to civil war in Sri Lanka
it could be avoided by working on the principal of acomodation.
* Majoritarianism policy followed by Sri Lankan leaders which favoured only Sinhala people by disregarding needs of Tamil people was the major factor of civil war
* buddhism was declared the only official religion and would be fostered
* Sinhala people were favoured for University seats and jobs by the act in 1956
* Tamil people demanded equal treatment and a separate "eelam ( state ) but in vain
* finally due to various conflicts between tamils and sinhalese, a civil war begun and ended in 2009
* it could have been avoided by respecting wishes and needs of tamils ( minority) and accommodating the diversities
