    The above statement is False.
    Belgium and Sri Lanka did not deal with the question of power-sharing in the same ways. They devised different ways to solve their problems. The Belgium government preferred to share its power equally with different communities (they amended their Constitution to do the same). However, the Sri Lankan government passed an Act in 1956 which placed power solely in the hands of the majority community (the Sinhala-speaking community constitutes seventy-four per cent of the total population of Sri Lanka).
