Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Sinhala speakers form the majority social group in Sri Lanka. They constitute about 74 per cent of the population of Sri Lanka. With this majority in their number, they dominated the new democratic government of Sri Lanka once the country gained independence. The Sinhala-dominated government then imposed a series of majoritarian measures, further establishing Sinhala hegemony. It eventually led to the frustration of the Sri Lankan Tamils and finally led to a civil war in the country. Many demands of the Sri Lankan Tamils, such as the demand for regional autonomy, recognition of the Tamil language as a national language, and so on, were repeatedly denied.
Thus, the correct statement would be that the civil war in Sri Lanka resulted from the conflict between the Sinhalas and Sri Lankan Tamils.
