Detailed Solution

This statement is true.
1)      Sri Lanka evolved independently in 1948, and as Sinhalas were in the majority, it made Sinhala the most prominent language.
2)      The Tamilians felt alone. No one paid attention to their language, culture, or religion.
3)      They fought for equal rights in jobs, getting into college, and have their language and culture recognised.
4)      Slowly, the conflict turned into a call for autonomy for each region.
5)      In the north and east of Sri Lanka, groups of Tamils lived together. Their requests were ignored, the fighting got worse, and by the 1980s, their requests had changed.
6)      They wanted the north and east to be Tamil Eelam. A civil war broke out, and thousands died on both sides.
7)      Sri Lanka's thriving economy went away, and the war hurt the country's social, cultural, and economic life.
