Detailed Solution

The notion that socioeconomic differences only occur in developed nations like India is untrue. Social distinctions based on ethnicity, religion, culture, or language cause divisions in society. It depends on how socially diverse a nation's population is.
A small nation like Belgium has an extremely diversified population (heterogeneous) because it includes Dutch, French, and German speakers. Given that Tamil speakers make up a small minority and Sinhala speakers make up the majority, Sri Lanka is also diverse in terms of religion and language. Therefore, social variety can manifest itself in many ways throughout societies.
