Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Buddhism was declared the official religion of Sri Lanka as it was practised by the majority Sinhala community of the country. This was one of the many majoritarian policies enacted by the Sinhala-dominated government of Sri Lanka in 1956. It was done to appease the majority Sinhala community. However, it led to the feeling of alienation among the other minority communities in the country, eventually leading to a civil war.
The correct statement would be that Buddhism was declared the official religion of Sri Lanka as it was practised by the majority Sinhala community of the country.
