    • Their media was banned.

    • The government banned the LTTE.

    • Because of the universities act.

    Correct Answer
    A. The government banned the LTTE.
    Explanation
    The government banning the LTTE is not a reason the Tamils felt discriminated against. The LTTE, also known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, was a militant organization fighting for an independent Tamil state in Sri Lanka. While the Tamil community may have had differing opinions on the LTTE, its ban by the government does not directly relate to the discrimination they felt. The other options, such as being denied citizenship, the initial non-official status of their language, the ban on their media, and the impact of the universities act, all highlight discriminatory actions and policies that affected the Tamils.
