Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
To address its ethnic problem, the Sri Lankan government adhered to the policy of majoritarianism. When Sri Lanka became an independent nation in 1948, the group with a Sinhala majority wanted to seize control of the government. As a result, the democratically elected government implemented majoritarian policies to establish Sinhala dominance. Majoritarianism is the view that the majority community should be able to rule a country in whichever way they desire, regardless of the wishes and requirements of the minority. In Sri Lanka, the interests of Tamils were ignored, while Sinhalas were given preference everywhere.
