What is Steps Toward Sinhala Majoritarianism about?

The document discusses steps taken by the Sri Lankan government in the past to achieve Sinhala majoritarianism including making Sinhala the sole official language and favoring Sinhalese applicants for government jobs and university admissions. These policies had negative consequences like disenfranchising Tamils and fueling a decades-long civil war between the Sinhalese government and Tamil separatists. Sri Lanka has since taken steps to address these issues through power sharing and reconciliation efforts.
