Social diversity can take different forms in different societies. Explain

When Sri Lanka recognized Sinhala as the only official language it disregarded Tamils. They felt that they were denied equality. As a result, the relationship between the Sinhala and the Tamils strained and the Sri Lankan Tamils launched movements against the government.

In India, the Dalits were treated as Untouchables because they were born lower caste compared to rest. They were poor, had no homes, were not allowed to perform decent work. This created a social division in the society, which deep-rooted and India is still struggling to overcome this division.

Belgium, a small country in Europe with a population over 1 crore has a very complex ethnicity. About 59% of its population speaks Dutch and 40% speaks French and 1% speaks German. French community though in minority yet rich and powerful in Germany.
