Question

what were the reasons for the alienation of sri lankan tamils amd what was the effect of this on country..... not from google please ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Sri Lanka emerged as an independent nation in 1948. The Sinhala leaders sought to secure dominance over the government.

• As a result, it adopted a series of Majoritarian measures to establish their supremacy.

• An act was passed in 1956, recognising Sinhala as the only official language and thus disregarding Tamil.

• The government followed some preferential policies that favoured the Sinhala people.

• These policies favoured Sinhala speakers in getting university jobs , government jobs.

• The new Constitution stipulated that the state should protect and foster Buddhism.

• These government measures one after the other, developed a feeling of alienation among the Sri Lankan Tamils.
