Answer»

Hey mate

Here is ur answer

The LEADERS of the SINHALA community sought to secure dominance over government by virtue of their majority. As a result, the democratically elected government adopted a series of majoritarian measures to establish Sinhala supremacy.
In 1956, an Act was PASSED to recognise Sinhala as the only official language, thus DISREGARDING Tamil. The governments followed preferential policies that favoured Sinhala applicants for university positions and government jobs. A new constitution stipulated that the state shall PROTECT and foster Buddhism.
