The Tat Khalsa^[1] (Gurmukhi: ਤੱਤ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ, romanized: Tata khālasā, lit. 'true Khalsa'), also romanised as Tatt Khalsa, known as the Akal Purkhias during the 18th century,^[2] was a Sikh faction that arose from the schism following the passing of Guru Gobind Singh in 1708, led by his widow Mata Sundari, opposed to the religious innovations of Banda Singh Bahadur and his followers.^[1]^[3] The roots of the Tat Khalsa lies in the official formalization and sanctification of the Khalsa order by the tenth Guru in 1699.^[4]

The use of the words Tat Khalsa can often be problematic for historians of the Sikhs, as, at times, it is as amorphous a signifier as Hinduism or Sikhism. The tradition of the Tat Khalsa encompasses many ways of being Sikh, including not only discursivity, that is to say, the Sikh emphasis on written and spoken texts, but also a whole host of rituals, gestures, materials, and imaginaries. What sets the category apart from simply Sikhism is the fact that at the centre of all Tat Khalsa imaginaries and imaginings is the Khalsa, although even the story of its formation is subject to some minor contestations and discrepancies, particularly in regard to the creation of the Cherished Five. There were, as we know by now, many satellite branches of the Tat Khalsa (which is also known as the Lahore Singh Sabha), some of which contributed their own particular nuances to the Tat Khalsa narrative of the triumphant Khalsa and Sikh tradition and ideology.
