M.S.A. Rao in his edited volume on Social Movements in India has highlighted the significance of ideology, collective mobilization, organization and leadership in social movements.

1. Ideology provides a broad frame of action and collective mobilisation in the social movement. It also provides legitimacy to the process of interest articulation and organized collective action.

2. Collective Mobilization The nature and direction of a social movement is widely shaped by the nature of collective mobilisation. Collective mobilisation may be radical, non institutionalized, spontaneous, large scale or it may be nonviolent, institutionalized, sporadic and restricted.

3. Leadership and Organization are closely linked to the process of collective mobilisation. A leader can be a charismatic figure or a democratically elected one.
