Keshdhari Hindus
Keshdhari Hindus (Punjabi: ਕੇਸ਼ਧਾਰੀ ਹਿੰਦੂ (Gurmukhi)) means "Hindus with long hairs". It is a term used by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh for Sikhs to describe them as the sword arm of Hindus and, hence, staunch Indian nationalists.[1]

The Sikh leadership rejects the categorization of Sikhs as Keshdhari Hindus and claims that Sikhism is a unique religion with a unique message.[1]
