Detailed Solution

Sri Lanka followed the principle of majoritarianism. They want to establish the supremacy of Sinhala. Because most of the Sinhala community is in Srilanka, the government also supports the Sinhala community. Special provisions were given to the students of the Sinahala community in universities and government jobs.
Statement ( R) is the correct explanation of (A).
The Srilankan government wants to implement all these decisions by majoritarianism. This was a major injustice to the other communities (Srilankan Tamils and Indian Tamils). Thus, the Tamils came together and raised their voice against the government of Srilanka and the Sinhala community.
Hence, Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
