Keshdhari Hindus is a controversial term used by the right-wing Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Vishva Hindu Parishad for followers of Sikh Religion , under their dubious agenda Hindutva agenda.

Among the RSS, Sikhs are being propagated as a sword arm of the Hindus and staunch Indian nationalists. RSS's agenda is focused on asserting that Sikhs are not separate from Hindus but are actually their reformed version. They formed a sub-organization known as Rashtriya Sikh Sangat on 24 November 1986.

Since 1984, relations between Sikhs and Hindus have moved toward a rapprochement aided by economic prosperity. However, a 2002 claim by the RSS that "Sikhs are Hindus" disturbed Sikh sensibilities.
