Answer:
Explanation:
The following are the reasons why the Sri Lankan Tamils feel alienated in Sri Lanka:
1. The democratically elected Sri Lankan Government enacted an ordinance in the year 1956 to replace the English language with Sinhala (the language of the Sinhala people)as the official language of Sri Lanka. The government did not give any value to the Tamil language.
2. The government of Sri Lanka created a policy which favored the Sinhala candidates in education and government employment.
3. A new constitution declared that Sri Lanka would promote and preserve Buddhism.
4. The government of Sri Lanka did not give citizenship to the Tamils.
5. All these steps taken by the government steadily intensified the sense of alienation.
