Hi Ashish,

jQuery Mobile is a user interface library that allows you to construct a mobile site using HTML, CSS and JavaScript and have it talk to back-end services to retrieve data. jQuery, however, is a library of utilities that provide a clean, consistent experience when writing code for cross-browser sites, it doesn't offer any ways of manipulating large portions of a website which is better left to frameworks and libraries such as AngularJS and ReactJS, or in this case; jQuery Mobile.

Hope that helps.
