Uni bookstore seeking books on Sikhism

[Simran9]

hey ya'll,

my uni's bookstore is gonna find and order new books on Sikhism.

I wanna give em suggestions but I dunno what books on Sikhism are suitable for Sikh and non Sikh students.

does your school have religious studies course that uses a textbook on Sikhism? or books that are used as part of a course?

do you know of any books that are fairly exceptional for Sikh/non Sikh to read and learn and understand something about Sikhism, what its all about?

If you have any suggestions plz post the title, author, and ISBN or link to it online.

THANX!!!

Sat Sri Akal:

The Sikhs In Hostory - By Sangat Singh

(Reviewed: http://www.sikhe.com/gsdno/articles/bookre...sinhistory.htm)

The above is a MUST for the post-Guru preiod, especially the post-Indian independence analysis.

[Son of Guru Gobind Singh Ji]

I recommend Kesh Parsang by Bh. Amardeep Singh Alag. Not sure if the book is avialable in English or not but it's a great read without so many logical and scientific reasons why one should not cut his hair. It was published by SGPC on Khalsa Ji's 300 saala..

Vaheguru Jee Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Jee Kee Fateh !

Books that I heard or read that are good:

Sea of Orange by Cynthia Mahmood

Fighting for Faith and Nation by Cynthia Mahmood

The Gallant Defender by A.R. Darshi

Stories from Sikh History by Hemkunt Press

Politics of Genocide by Inderjit Singh Jaijee (Has anyone read this on the forum ??)

Struggle for Freedom (Speeches and Conversations Sant Jarnail Singh) by Ranbir Singh Sandhu

also dont get mcleod books as i have read they have bad views , i'm trying to find the reviews online if i find i will post. khushwant was an indian mp and his views would be inclined that way .... i've heard in on interviews in 84 stating that no-one wanted Khalistan and it was a 'lunatic-fringe' etc...
