Question:

When does a social difference become a social division?

Answer:

Social difference means when there is difference in people based on language, colour, origin and race. Social division takes place when some social difference overlaps with many other social differences. Situations of the kind when one kind of social difference becomes more important than the other and people start feeling that they belong to different communities, gives rise to the social divisions. In India, marginalised people tend to be poor and landless. They often face discrimination and injustice.
