The following sentence “He got this project because of luck rather than his work” conveys Matsar sentiment. In this competitive world, it increases negativity and jealousy among people due to the success of other people or status of other people etc. Generally it seems between friends, co-workers, businesses etc. It will be helpful in schools, colleges, organizations to get to know the relation between two individuals. In this work, we have proposed a pattern based approach to detect whether the text contains Matsar Sentiment or not. The proposed approach gives accuracy of 99% using KNN algorithm, 98% using DT algorithm, 97% using SVM algorithm and 94% using NB algorithm.
