Detailed Solution

The reason for adopting majoritarianism in Sri Lanka is that the leaders of the Sinhala community sought to secure dominance over the government.
Majoritarianism in a country means that the majority community disregards the needs and desires of a minority population and feels that it should be allowed to run the country in whatever way it wants. Majoritarianism in Sri Lanka resulted in a lengthy and violent civil conflict when the Sinhala majority neglected the political equality and economic well-being of Sri Lankan Tamils.
