Answer: In 1956 an act was passed to consider Sinhala as the official languge of Srilanka

. The tamils felt alienated because their language and culture was not recognised by the srilankan govt.

. They felt discriminated in jobs, university positions as the srilankan govt only allowed those positions for sinhalese..

. Buddhism was made the official religion of srilanka thus disregarding tamil.

. The majoritatrian measures took by the srilankan govt and disregarding the demands of tamils strained the relations between sinhalese and tamils which led to a civil war
