The gravitational instability of infinite homogeneous plasma has been studied to include simultaneously the effects of rotations, Hall currents, viscosity, finite electrical conductivity and the finite Larmor radius (FLR). Both the longitudinal, and transverse modes of wave propagation have been studied. It is found that the gravitational instability is determined by Jeans' criterion even in the presence of effects of rotation, Hall currents, FLR, viscosity and finite conductivity whether included separately or jointly.
