Hindu title of respect (5)

I believe the answer is:

sahib

'hindu title of respect' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sahib that I've seen before include "Cultured man" , "Indian gentleman" , "Sir (raj)" , "Form of address used in India" , "Former Indian title" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, The Washington Post, the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, the L.A. Times Daily and the Sydney Morning Herald.
