What causes the conflict between Sinhalese and Tamils?
Answer 1In 1983, the Sinhalese killed many Tamils just because the Tamils had better jobs then the Sinhalese. You see the Tamils are very intelligent in their studies and even today so, the Sinhalese are very greedy for moneyHere are few important historical points on what Tamilians were deprived of in the course of time.-> In 1948-50 the then Prime Minister of Ceylon D.S. Senanayake launched massive Sinhalese colonization schemes in the Eastern province, the traditional homeland of the Tamils. Gal Oya in the Batticalo District, Allai and Kanthalai in the Trincomalee District were the colonization schemes launched by him.-> On June 14, 1956 Mr. S. W. R. D. Bandaranayake, leader of the Srilanka Freedom Party and Prime Minster, who won the Parliamentary Elections help in 1956 caused Parliament, dominated by the majority Sinhalese to enact "Sinhala Only" as the official language of Ceylon. This was a negation of the hitherto accepted language policy of treating both Sinhala and Tamils as the official languages in place of English. The imposition of Sinhala only represented the subjugation of Tamils by Sinhalese imperialism. In protest the Federal Party which opposed the Sinhala only act staged Satyagraha in Colombo.-> In 1971 admission to the university based on merit was abandoned and "standardization" to university admissions through G.C.E A/L examination results was introduced. Lower qualifying marks were fixed for Sinhalese than for Tamil students, both regarding the language of instruction and the subjects themselves. The introduction of "standardization" adversely affected Tamil students' access to higher education.-> In June 1981 under directions of two Sinhalese Ministers the army and the police set fire to important buildings in Jaffna town, specially the Jaffna Public Library considered one of the best in South Asia was torched. This resulted in the destruction of 44,000 valuable books. In addition printing presses and shops were also burnt down. Civilians were killed by the army . Another racial riot broke out.Answer 2The Sinhalese have retained power throughout most of Sri Lanka's history because of its size compared to the Tamil population, the second largest group in the country. With unquestioned economic and political power, the Sinhalese inhabitants face the anger and bitterness of the minority Tamils, who must struggle to have their voice heard. Conflict between the Tamil and Sinhalese rose to a new degree in 1956 as Solomon Bandaranaike was instated as Prime Minster and declared Sinhala the official language of what was then Ceylon. The Tamil minority was outraged by this act and opposition to the Sinhalese dominated government grew as the state backed Buddhism on an official level. Bandaranaike was later assassinated and proceeded by his wife who became Prime Minister in 1960. In 1983 civil unrest could no longer be contained and the country broke out into civil war.

What is sri lankas nation?
India- Sri Lanka has been the scene of bitter civil warfare between the Sinhalese and the Tamils, the latter of whom want a separate Tamil state within the country and who had a terrorist guerrilla army called the Tamil Tigers. India supported the Sri Lankan Government, made up mostly of Sinhalese, in it's fight against the Tamils. The Tamil Tigers carried out a series of bombings and mass shootings throughout the 1980s and '90s, both within Sri Lanka itself and on the Indian mainland- targets included airports, railway stations, airliner bombings, and shopping centres. Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi sent the Indian Army into Sri Lanka in 1987 to assist the Tamil Government in crushing the Tigers- as a result, he was himself killed by a female Tamil suicide bomber in 1991 during his re-election campaign. The Tamil Tigers were finally crushed by a massive joint operation between the Sri Lankan Government and it's Indian ally in May 2009.
