Detailed Solution

In 1948, Sri Lanka became an independent country.
The Sinhalese (74 per cent) and the Tamils (14 per cent) were the two primary ethnic groups. Because the Sinhalese were in the majority, they were elected to power. To ensure their community's supremacy, the Sinhalese leaders implemented a number of majoritarian policies. The Sinhala language was designated as the country's sole official language by a statute passed in 1956. The Sinhalese were also given special privileges in government posts. All of these issues contributed to dissent among Tamils. As a result, tensions between the Tamil and Sinhalese people grew, culminating in a civil war.
