Question

if a body is rotating is it necessarily being acted upon by an external torque

Answer 1

The concept is analogous to linear motion. If a body is moving at constant velocity, then the net force acting on it is zero. Thus, my answer to your question is 'no', unless you specify that the body is rotating at varying angular velocity

Answer 2
