Solution:
The three demands of the Sri Lankan Tamils were the recognition of Tamil as an official language, regional autonomy for Tamils, and equality of opportunity in securing education and jobs.The three demands were the focus of political campaigns that the Tamils of Sri Lanka launched against the ruling government. In the 1980s, many new political parties were established to present their demands to the government. Their request for regions with a majority Tamil population to be given autonomy was constantly rejected. Numerous political groups, therefore, started violent protests demanding the creation of an independent Tamil Eelam in the northern and eastern regions of Sri Lanka. These protests eventually transpired into a civil war.
