Civil war broke out in Sri Lanka because of the increasingly strained relations between the Tamils and Sinhala communities where the Tamils felt they were being severely discriminated against.

There were serious repercussions of the war where the people were forced to take shelter, leave their home, belongings, their children were unprotected. Hatred and disparity increased thus leading to Sri Lanka’s economical slowdown

What factors led to a civil war in Sri Lanka?

Answer:

Measures taken in majoritarianism gradually increased the feeling of alienation among Sri Lankan Tamils.
They felt that the constitution and government policies denied them equal political rights, discriminated against them in getting jobs and other opportunities and ignored their interests.
As a result, the relations between Sinhalas and Tamil communities got strained over time.
The Sri Lankan Tamils launched parties and struggles for the recognition of Tamil as an official language, regional autonomy and equality of opportunities in getting education and jobs.
By the 1980s, several political organisations were formed demanding an independent Tamil Elam (state) in northern and eastern parts of Sri Lanka.
The distrust between the two communities turned into widespread conflict. It soon turned into a civil war. As a result, thousands of people of both the communities were killed.
