Majoritarianism’ refers to the policy of domination over minority, just by the virtue of being in majority.
In Sri Lanka, it has led to the feelings of alienation among the Tamils. They feel that none of the major political parties, led by Buddhist Sinhala leaders are sensitive to their language and culture. According to them, the Constitution and the government policies have denied them equal political rights and discriminated against them in getting jobs and other opportunities and ignored their interests.
This alienation among the Tamils is due to the following reasons :
(i) In 1956, an Act was passed to recognise Sinhala as the only official language, thus disregarding Tamil.
(ii) The government framed policies favouring Sinhala people for government jobs.
(iii)The new Constitution specified that the state shall protect and foster Buddhism.
