Answers
Answer:
The main causes of social tensions in society are given below.

2. Occupational competition between different groups of people, involving territorial encroachment on one side breeds tension and conflict.
3. Feeling of identity aggression by one community against others through caste, sect or religion, dialect, and language. It leads to a feeling of harassment, insecurity, and unrest among other smaller groups.
