Power Sharing ch 1
The document summarizes the ethnic composition and conflict in Sri Lanka. It states that the Sinhalese community makes up 74% of the population and the Tamils make up 18%, with 13% being Sri Lankan Tamils and 5% being Indian Origin Tamils. Preferential policies favoring the Sinhalese majority led to distrust between the communities and eventually a civil war, killing thousands on both sides. In contrast, Belgium adopted power-sharing amendments to accommodate linguistic communities, with equal Dutch and French speaking ministers, and devolved powers to state and Brussels governments with equal representation of parties.
