    Unrest is a situation (though strictly political according to oxford dictionary) whereby people are dissatisfied with the existing socio-political system (which they consider undesirable) to an extent that they are motivated to resist/oppose it in order to modify/ alter or over through it to bring a new „suitable‟ order. Some theorists have attributed the emergence of rebellion, revolt and resistance to what they called relative deprivation. To them rebellion is caused when an individual/society fails to get/achieve an expected target of any Psychological/sociological nature he/they rebel against the hurdle which he/they believe was responsible for keeping him away from the target. Bringing into focus the causes of political violence (riot and rebellion), Robert Tedgurr rightly remarks: „the institutions, persons and policies of rulers have inspired the violent wrath of their nominal subjects throughout the history of organized political life‟. When constitutional/peaceful/moderate methods (means of resistance) are blocked /thwarted/suppressed, discontent increases and thus violence becomes inevitable.Digital copy of ThesisUniversity of Kashmi
