Nang

Nang, is a term used by Nihang Sikhs for a member guilty of religious misconduct. In that context, nang can mean either kangāl (Punjabi: ਕੰਗਾਲ "destitute") or nanga (one without clothes). If a member of Nihang army is convicted via court-martial, his royal blue uniform is removed and his license of to keep arms is cancelled, leading to his excommunication from the Khalsa. Only Jathedars of Nihang Dals such as Budha Dal have authority to punish their army members after trial.
