Explain Any Three Consequences of the Majoritarian Policies Adopted by the Sri Lankan Government.
Consequences of majoritarian policies adopted by Sri Lankan Government were:
- Tamils felt the government was not sensitive about Tamil language and culture because Sinhala was declared the official language.
- Tamils felt discriminated against securing jobs and education which were given preferentially to the Sinhala speakers.
- Tamils felt the government was practising religious discrimination because the State fostered Buddhism. Relations between Tamils and Sinhalese became strained.
