Q3)Describe any three majoritarian measures adopted by the Sri- Lankan government to establish Sinhala supremacy.
Solution-
SriLanka emerged as an independent country in 1948. The Sinhala community was in the majority so they had formed the government. They also followed preferential policies that favoured Sinhala applicants for university positions and government jobs. Sinhalese was declared the sole official language which effectively eliminated the Tamils from government service. A law was also passed which simply barred Indian Tamils from getting citizenship.
