The presence of different socio-economic, religious, linguistic and caste group gives us different identities at different times and in different contexts. This can be called social diversity. These identities at some point divide us and at some point unite us. For example, one can be Hindu or Muslim or Sikh but when it comes to education we are all students irrespective of our religion.
The following are the facts to support the statement.
- People belonging to same religion feel that they do not belong to the same community because their caste is different. For example, Hindus are all of the same religion but there are different castes.
- Sometimes people from different religions can have same caste which gives them a sense of belongingness.
- It may be seen among rich and poor people that they do not keep cordial even after belonging to the same religion, same caste and even family.
