Detailed Solution

The Anglo-Indians are not a major social group in Sri Lanka.
There are two major social groups in Sri Lanka: Sinhala speaking and Tamil speaking. The Sinhala speakers represent approximately 74 per cent of the population, and the Tamil speakers represent 13 per cent of the population. Tamil-speaking people may be classified further as Indian Tamils and Sri Lankan Tamils. Indian Tamils came from India years ago, and 13 per cent speak Tamil. So the only social group left, which can be classified as a minor social group in Sri Lanka, is the Anglo-Indians. The Sinhala-speaking, Sri Lankan Tamils, and Indian Tamil groups are the majority social groups compared to the Anglo-Indians.
