Sanatan Singh Sabha was a Sikh organization formed by traditional Sikhs (called Sanatan Sikhs) in 1873. The Sanatan Singh Sabha regarded Sikhs to be Hindus as the definition of a "Hindu" is someone who practices karma and bhakti (on any God) for the achievement of Moksha. A Sikh that practices Hinduism is known as a Sanatan Sikh.

A rival organization called Tat Khalsa (the 'True Khalsa') Singh Sabha, was organized by a rival group at Lahore in 1879 (also called Lahore Singh Sabha); it maintained that it is impossible to be both a Hindu and a Sikh.

A number of local organizations termed "Singh Sabha" were started in a number of cities that were affiliated with the Tat Khalsa.
