Detailed Solution

The Sri Lankan Tamils group launched parties and struggles in Sri Lanka, who made up just 13 per cent of the country's population, launched parties and struggles in Sri Lanka to secure their interests. A statute was passed in 1956 designating Sinhala as the only official language, and the government put out measures favouring Sinhala applicants for government jobs. Tamils in Sri Lanka believed that their interests were overlooked by the constitution and government policies, which denied them equal political rights and discriminated against them in employment and other possibilities.
