Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
In Belgium, the French-speaking minority was relatively rich and powerful compared to the Dutch-speaking majority. This led to strains between the two in the 1950s and 60s. Considering this, between 1970 and 1993, the Belgian leaders amended their Constitution to facilitate the accommodation of all linguistic communities. It was the realization that the unity of the country is possible only by respecting the interests and sentiments of all communities that led to the resolution of unrest in the country. This is unlike the case of Sri Lanka, where majoritarian measures of the government gave way to a devastating civil war that wrecked the unity of the nation.
