Detailed Solution

The Sinhala community secures dominance over the government by virtue of its majority. Srilanka is a small country situated in the south of India. It got its independence in 1948, a year after India. Since then, the government, established democratically after the elections, has been under the influence of the Sinhala community. The effect is not some more outstanding political notion or something but simply majoritarianism. This means the government's impact on the Sinhala community is owed to its majority position in the country. Most people in Srilanka belong to this group, so the government feels pressured to favour it. This can be called a political tactic of the people in power to ensure their win in the coming elections by keeping the majority at their side, i.e., securing the vote bank.
