After more of a search on the net I found that some are critical of his works
Sikh Spectrum http://www.sikhspectrum.com/092002/chairs.htm
Harjot Oberoi was educated in India and Australia and heads UBC's Sikh Studies program. He angered traditional Sikh groups with his book which says the Sikh religion and culture are fluid and undergoing constant revision, particularly after the British conquered India. His research is presented in The Construction of Religious Boundaries: Culture, Identity and Diversity in the Sijkh Tradition (1994). Contrary to Dr. Oberoi's claim that Sikhism borrowed ideas and practices from Hinduism and Islam, traditionalists believe that their faith, founded in the 16th century, is unique.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa
Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh
I would like to ask the sangat has any one read his works?
If so which ones?
Also someone highlighted that Harjot Oberoi, writes alot about 19th century sikhism and its reform and as a cause had alot of hatred during the late 1980/90's from khalistanis and eventually cut of his 'kesh' is this true or not ?
"A valuable contribution to the study of the nineteenth-century Sikh tradition and its formulations of modern Sikh identity. Oberoi's book serves as an excellent starting point in an ongoing debate on the process of identity-formation in the Sikh tradition."--Religious Studies Review
Culture, Identity and Diversity in the Sikh Tradition
Please let me know, which of his books are a good read and if you can answer my latter question.

I think everyone who does go on this trip needs to take loads of camera/videos and recorders and come back to show the sangat in the west what is going on with all this confusions/doubts/scandals etc.
