Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Majoritarian measures were taken by the Sinhala government in Sri Lanka. After independence in 1948, the democratically elected Sri Lankan government passed a series of majoritarian policies to establish Sinhalese hegemony. The Sinhala-speaking population constituted the country's majority population and even dominated the government. Sinhala was upheld as the only official language in Sri Lanka. The Tamil language was disregarded. Universities and government agencies preferred Sinhalese applicants. A new constitutional amendment was enacted to protect and spread Buddhism, followed by the country's Sinhalese population.
