Do you think social division are always dangerous?Explain

Answer for your question
When social divisions are combined with politics they become
dangerous. There are a number of political parties in a democracy. If they
start competing on the basis of the existing social divisions it will lead to
political division. There will be conflict and violence. It may even lead to
the disintegration of the country. For example Yugoslavia was divided into six
independent countries.
But the
combination of social divisions and politics is not always negative. When
social divisions get a political expression the marginalised and disadvantaged
social groups can express their grievances and ask the government to rectify
them. The reservation of seats for the socially disadvantaged, in the
legislature allows them to get an adequate representation in the decision
making process.
