Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The social difference is the natural quality of most societies. Even in countries as small as Belgium, some social difference exists. Countries like Germany, famous for their mainly former homogenous societies, are becoming more diverse due to migration.
However, not all social differences lead to social divisions. Overlapping social differences lead to more significant social division than cross-cutting social differences. Political parties tend to exploit the existing societal differences, further deepening divisions. They often win favour from one community and turn them into vote banks. How political parties present the community's demands largely dictates the social divisions. If one community's political representation tries to downplay another's existence, this leads to social divisions.
The correct statement is that social division occurs when one social difference overlaps.
