Achieving true independence for Sri Lanka as a nation from the British was a long struggle that began in 1915 due to a rivalry between Sri Lankan Muslims and the Sinhalese majority over business interests which led to a riot. in Colombo, the administrative capital of what was then known worldwide as Ceylon (Corporation, 2008). The British, in response to riots between Ceylonese and Muslims, placed sole responsibility for these riots on the Sinhalese and imposed strict sanctions on Sinhalese who protested (Irāman̲ātan̲, 1916). As a result, anti-British sentiments began to rise among the Sinhalese majority, and intense interest was placed on the need to be an independent nation (Corporation, 2008). However, this was only a work in progress until the Sri Lankan socialist movement LSSP, founded in 1935, demanded that the nation be freed from the British and that the English administrative language be replaced by Sinhala and Tamil (Tambiah SJ, 1992). Sri Lanka's plan as an independent nation catering to the needs of all ethnic groups in the nation, although having started as a collectivist ideology, quickly began to deteriorate after the achievement of the long-awaited freedom in February 1948 This was due to the post-colonial separatist mentality (LePoer, 2002). Moreover, after independence, vital issues such as citizenship concerns of Sri Lanka's interior Indian Tamils ​​and national language concerns were not addressed (Roberts, 1994). Moreover, when these issues were addressed during the rule of the SLFP from 1956 to 1965, the methods used to resolve these imperative issues that gave Sri Lanka's minorities their individual identity were oriented towards the Sinhalese majority (Hennayake, 2006, pp 76-91). Considering the fact that an ethnic identity in a nation is the result of traditions long preserved and followed by a set of people, when combined as a state with multiple ethnic identities, it can eventually result in conflict of interests. Additionally, as authors David Lake and Donald Rothchild mentioned, in most cases the small minority will adopt the majority, but when considering a significant minority it becomes difficult to adopt in this manner (Lake and Rothchild, 1998, p. 48). . This being the case, Sri Lankan Tamils ​​who constitute a large minority compared to other groups and who played key administrative roles during the colonial era have started protesting against the new Sri Lankan legislation under the name of "Only Act Sinhalese” (Tambiah S..
