Ham Hindu Nahin (Punjabi: ਹਮ ਹਿੰਦੂ ਨਹੀਂ ; Translation: We are not Hindus), also spelled as Hum Hindu Nahin, is a 19th-century Punjabi book by Kahn Singh Nabha,[1][2][3] on the distinction of the Sikhism and identity.[4] First published in 1898,[5][6] the book was registered under this title in the Punjab Gazette on June 30, 1899 at number 447.[5]

Pressing its claim vehemently and vigorously to the distinction of the Sikh identity and religion, it concludes with a versified note by the author, describing the characteristics of the Khalsa.

Subject and need to write

Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha had to write this classic booklet in the time when Hindus were preaching the Sikhs to be a part of Hinduism and that it had no independent status of its own.[4][5]
