Sanatan Sikh
Sikh term
Sanatan Sikh (Gurmukhi: ਸਨਾਤਨ ਸਿੱਖ sanātana sikha, Punjabi pronunciation: [sə.näː.t̪ənᵊ sɪkkʰᵊ]), a term and formulation coined by Harjot Oberoi,[1] referred to Sikhs who formed a traditionalist faction during the Singh Sabha Movement in 1873.[2]
In colloquial language, the term "Sanatan Sikh" or "Snatan Sikh" has also been used by Sikhs to differentiate mainstream Sikh theology and practice from Sampardaic and Puratan Sikh theology, namely from 4 Sikh orders: Akali Nihungs, Sevapanthis, Nirmalas, and Udasis
