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 Universal, the Sydney Morning Herald, the L.A. Times Daily, The Washington Post, the King Feature Syndicate and the New York Times.
