Detailed Solution

The statement is true.
The community government in Belgium gives political power and representation to different social and linguistic communities and handles various cultural, linguistic, and communal issues related to the three linguistic communities; French-speaking, Dutch-speaking, and German-speaking communities in the country. It ensures the distribution of power among different groups rather than the concentration of power in the hands of one community. On the other hand, majoritarianism in Sri Lanka favoured the Sinhala community at the cost of Sri Lankan Tamils. The Sinhala community enjoyed immense power in the government and discriminated against the Tamils. The Sinhala language was recognized as the nation's only official language, thus neglecting the Srilankan Tamils and their culture. Even the government partially favoured the Sinhala community regarding university admissions and government jobs. A new constitution declared 'Buddhism' as the country's official religion. All this affected the Tamil people's dignity and rights, and they raged a civil war.
