Answer:

Explanation:

Circumstances in Sri Lanka:

The Tamils of Sri Lanka started political parties and campaigns for the recognition of Tamil as an official language, for regional autonomy, and for equitable access to education and employment. However, their persistent requests for greater autonomy for the Tamil-populated provinces were turned down.

The new constitution made it clear that Buddhism should be protected and promoted.

The leaders of this community desired influence over the government because the bulk of the population is Sinhala.

The governments adopted preferential practices that favoured one community, giving preference to Sinhala applicants for positions in the government and universities.

As each of these government initiatives was put into place, the Sri Lankan Tamils' sense of alienation grew over time.

The major political parties, which were dominated by Buddhist Sinhala politicians, were perceived by Sri Lankan Tamils as not being sensitive to their culture and language.

Social values where ignored by Sri Lanka government which lead to a tension in the country:

As the Sinhalese denied the Tamils political, educational, religious, job, and economic rights, a civil war broke out and caused tension between the two communities. Tamil was ignored when the government approved an act in 1956 designating Sinhala as the sole official tongue.
