In The Mid1950S, Sri Lankas Majority Sinhalese Politicians Began Outbidding One Another On Who Could Provide The Greatest Advantages For Their Community, Using The Sinhala Language As Their Instrument. The Appeal To Sinhalese Linguistic Nationalism Precipitated A Situation In Which The Movement To Replace English As The Countrys Official Language With Sinhala And Tamil (The Language Of Sri Lankas Principal Minority) Was Abandoned And Sinhala Alone Became The Official Language In 1956. The Tamils Subsequent Protests Led To Antitamil Riots And Institutional Decay, Which Meant That Supposedly Representative Agencies Of Government Catered To Sinhalese Preferences And Blatantly Disregarded Minority Interests. This In Turn Led To The Tamils Mobilizing, First Politically Then Militarily, And By The Mid1970S Tamil Youth Were Bent On Creating A Separate State.
