Power sharing in Sri Lanka

A belief that the majority community should be able to rule a country in whichever way it by disregarding the wants, wishes, and needs of the minority.

SINHALESE – (BUDDHIST): – they are 74% of the population.

After Independence, 1948 they formed a majority. Beside them, TAMIL-HINDUS, TAMIL-MUSLIMS, and CHRISTIAN are 7% who are both Tamil and Sinhalese.
