Overlapping social differences create deep social divisions and possibility of conflict because here one kind of social difference becomes more important than the other and people on such a a case develop a feeling that they belong to different community all together having different interests which are not probably recognized and and are denied by the other community. One can give example of Blacks who tend to poor and discriminated against by the white majority rule in US
Likewise, in India the Dalits have been the victims of injustice and discrimination and tend to be socially and educationally backward. Such a situation creates a possibility of deep social conflict between communities.
Cross cutting differences it is difficult to pit one group against the other because here groups may share common interests as well as different views on other matters. For example, Netherlands ,class and religion cut across each other, Catholics and Protestants are equally likely to be rich and poor. In such a situation accommodation of interests becomes easy for the political class.
