Answer:
In Sri Lanka, there were two types of Tamils- Sinhala Tamils and Indian Tamils who migrated to Sri Lanka for job employment opportunities. Sinhala Tamils constitute the majority of the Sri Lankan population and there was a majority rule in Sri Lanka. This can be seen in the act passed in 1956 which recognized Sinhala as the official language. The majority rule was pushed to the extreme when Sinhalans came to be favored at job places and were given top priorities in terms of employment. Later, Buddhism was supported in Sri Lanka as Sinhalans were great followers of Buddism, thus disregarding the feelings of other minorities' and Indian Tamils' feelings.
