Question

how did social division affect politics. explain giving example of northern Ireland

Answer 1

its really simple acutally..we can use the example of northern ireland by taking the example of the catholics and protestants of northern ireland..
these two castes/communities were facing social division...the catcholics were considered a higher level but they were very poor..whereas the protestants were very rich but were considered to be very low(castewise)
this caused a social division which also affected politics as the people were divided by castes and were shrouded to vote rightfully hence this social division was one of the best examples of the question
i hope this helped you:)

Answer 2

Answer :

Social divisions affect politics both in negative as well as positive way. These are:

Negative impacts : In a democratic country like India there is competition between various political parties and this competition sometimes tends to divide different social groups and society.

e.g.: Northern Ireland of the United Kingdom have been for many years, the site of a violent and bitter ethno-political conflict. Its population is divided into two major sections of Christianity- 53% Protestants and 44% Catholics.

In democracy it is only natural that political parties would talk about social divisions, make different promises to different communities, look after due representation of various communities and policies to redress the grievances of disadvantaged communities .
