    Can the politics and social divisions be allowed to mix?

    Answer:

    Actually at first sight, it would appear that the combination of politics and social divisions is very dangerous and explosive.
    (i) Democracy involves competition among various political parties. Their competition tends to divide any society.
    (ii) In this regard we can take the case of Northern Ireland. This region of the United Kingdom has been for many years the site of a violent and bitter ethno political conflict.
    As a result, its population is divided into two major sects of Christianity-Protestants and Roman Catholics. Same way in Yugoslavia, political competition along religious and ethnic lines led to the disintegration of Yugoslavia into six independent countries.
