No qualms about it.. The majority language has to be the national language of a nation, But they could have done it in a more pragmatic way, A way in which a multi cultural multi lingual country like Ceylon could have adopted well, They just gave in to ultra nationalists for populist motives thus alienating minorities not just the Burghers but others as well.. People were more or less pushed out of their careers livelihood almost over night.. But i guess those wrongs were made right in later years albeit after having to pay for those blunders in a massive way
