Detailed Solution

The Sri Lankan government passed a law in 1956 recognising Sinhala as the only official language of Sri Lanka. The government had also developed priority policies to support the Sinhalese applicants for university and government posts. All this was done to establish the supremacy of the Sinhala community. Thus, the Sinhala-dominated Sri Lankan government ignored the Tamil community, including the native Tamilians and the Indian Tamilians.
The correct statement would be a preferential policy was adopted in Sri Lanka that favoured the Sinhala community's application for government jobs.
