.Social division and politics inter-relate with each other when people use the names of their caste or community to get votes or to make the other contestant inferior to them. This leads to casteism in politics, for example, in India, many politicians use the name of their caste to get in power, thus promoting social divisions in politics.

I would say that social division plays no different role in Indian politics than it does in any democratic order. The greater social division there is, the greater the likelihood that politicians will use those differences to consolidate their own power. As long as there are significant rifts in the social tapestry whereby individuals can embrace their own social order to come together in a cohesive weaving, politicians will be able to maximize these divisions. In Indian politics, political parties make their reputation off of "representing" different interests, but in reality what is happening is that these leadership groups are furthering the wedge between their represented group and the social unit as a whole. Social cohesion asserts the pure right of the people, and in this process may destabilize political parties who are based off of division. Until social orders recognize that while there is legitimate difference of opinion does not necessarily have to translate into social division and fragmentation, politicians will be able to maximize these tears at social fabric and gain power in the process.
