The Washington Post, in a fit of honest reporting, indicated that by and
large the Sikh community did not support the assasination, and devoted a
lot of coverage to the persecution of Sikhs across India, including a 
fascinating article on Sunday concerning the Hindus who helped Sikhs to
escape from mobs, or hide, or whatever.

On the other hand, they did tend to suggest that India was degenerating
into total anarchy, which seems from my admittedly limited point of view
to be somewhat of an exaggeration.
