Gujarat, Kashmir and the 1992-93 anti-Muslim violence in Mumbai - in which hundreds were killed yet only three people convicted - have become rallying cries for jihadist groups across South Asia.

A manifesto, which circulated around a June 1969 SDS convention, took its title from Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues."
