What does this source tell you about the Sri Lankan government’s attitude towards the Tamils? Explain your answer.
 

Source E:  An adaptation on the history between the Sri Lankan government and the Tamil population from the LTTE website.
Sinhala state repression against the Tamils manifested in concrete forms following the island’s independence in 1948. Systematically, state oppression affected the Tamils’ economic and social lives. State-aided aggressive colonization in Tamil areas deprived the Tamils’ rights over their historical lands and altered the ethnic composition of the population rendering them a minority in traditional Tamil regions. These indicated an obvious plan calculated to destroy the Tamils’ national identity.

The Tamil leadership initially organized non-violent campaigns demanding justice from Sinhala rulers. Massive demonstrations by the Tamils symbolized a national uprising against the state. The Sinhala Government reacted with military violence and terror, brutally crushing these non-violent peaceful campaigns. Such oppressive tactics made the people realize the futility of non-violent campaigns.
