Sri Lanka and Israel are two Asian countries that have conflicts between two different linguistic and ethnic groups.
In Sri Lanka, there are differences between two major social groups, namely, the Sinhalese community, which form the majority, and the Sri Lankan Tamils, which are a minority. The Sinhalese preferred the Sinhala language to be the only official language in Sri Lanka, but the Sri Lankan Tamils favoured Tamil in the 1950s. Furthermore, most Sinhalese are Buddhists, while Sri Lankan Tamils are Hindus or Muslims. The linguistic and religious differences in Sri Lanka led to social division, conflicts, and tensions in the 1980s. The two major social groups in Israel are the Jews and the Arabs.
