Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
Tamils in Sri Lanka established political parties and campaigned for the recognition of Tamil as an official language, for their territory's independence, and for equal access to education and jobs. However, their requests for greater autonomy for regions with a Tamil population were generally turned down. In the 1980s, many political groups began to form that called for creating an independent Tamil Eelam State, both in the north and east of Sri Lanka. The widespread conflict resulted from the mistrust that existed between the two cultures. It turned into a civil war very rapidly. As a result, thousands of members of both tribes have died. Moreover, many families were forced to leave the country as refugees, and many people lost their jobs.
So, the Sri Lankan Tamils launched parties and struggled for the recognition of Tamil as an official language.
