After which event did the Tamil nationalism grow?
LTTE founding
Sri Lankan independence
Indian intervention
Peace talks failure
Answer
Sri Lankan independence in 1948 marked a pivotal moment that fueled the growth of Tamil nationalism. The Tamil people, a significant minority in the newly independent country, felt marginalized and discriminated against by the Sinhalese-dominated government. This perceived injustice ignited a desire for self-determination and the preservation of their cultural and linguistic identity, giving rise to the Tamil nationalist movement.
