jQuery is a required dependency for bootstrap. You have to include jQuery before including bootstrap. You don't need to include both bootstrap.js and bootstrap.min.js. Either one will do. Also you may consider using public CDNs. Here is the modified version of your code that will work,

Kudos ! it works .
i understand where I went wrong likeI am not able to understand
 

<apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.bootstrap, 'bootstrap-3.2.0-dist/css/bootstrap.min.css')}"/>
  <apex:includeScript value="{!URLFOR($Resource.bootstrap, 'bootstrap-3.2.0-dist/js/bootstrap.js')}"/> 
    <apex:includeScript value="{!URLFOR($Resource.bootstrap, 'bootstrap-3.2.0-dist/js/bootstrap.min.js')}"/>


As you said either of the two we csn use bootstrap .js or bootstrap.min.js ? is it so bcz both perform same functionality or something else.

Also , why Is it necessary to use jquery when we use bootstrap modal

 

Thanks A ton !

bootstrap and bootstrap.min both contains same code. First one is the uncompressed readable code, while the later is minified code which will load into your page faster. You should use uncompressed version if you you need to customize bootstrap plugin to meet your requirement. In production you should always use the minified version as it will improve your page load time. 

Bootstrap is build using jQuery. So bootstrap needs jQuery plugin to be included in your page. Also it depends in which order you included them. You have to include jQuery first and then bootstrap.
