Social movements are meant to change the patterns of relations in the social domain and differ from political movements as they do not seek power sharing in political domain. Though few social movements had later turned into political movements and bags share in political power. Ideology, programmes, strategy, objectives of social change leadership and patterns of mobilization are the core components of a social movement. Social movements are usually specific to culture, history and social structure and identity. Movement to remove untouchability in Hindu society is marked as the best social movement to regain identity by the deprived peoples.  Issues and strategies of movements are relative to societies and to their history.  The mission in the social movements is to reject or alter the past and present forms of norms and values of society to have a better society. The idea of 'social transformation' or 'change' is at the core of social optimism, and therefore, challenges the fixed notions of values, norms, power and hierarchy in the society. It aims for social optimism by 'deconstructing' the critical conflictual aspects.  Though, social movements are non-political but sometimes they are used as tool by the political parties or civil societies or NGOs, either to grab the power or to make pressure on the government for amend their policies.  Therefore state perceives the protest and social movements as a challenge to its legitimacy of governance and its immediate response is negative, suppressive. Government also uses tools like negotiation and appeasement based on the intensity of the movements to neutralize it.
