Sikh Saini - (Forward Caste)
Sikh Saini - (Backward Caste)


SAINI is a caste of North India who were traditionally landowners. Sainis claim to be descendants of a king, Shurasena, as well as of Krishna and Porus, and to be related to the ancient Shoorsaini clan, noted in Puranic literature. This is disputed and the 1901 census noted that people using the Shoorsaini name were by then found only in Punjab, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi. Sainis also claim themselves to be Rajputs  of Yaduvanshi descent.
The Sainis are a Northern Indian ethnic tribe that inhabits the Punjab, also related to Lakshmi God


As both a statutory agricultural tribe and a designated martial race during the British Raj era that followed the Indian Rebellion of 1857, Sainis had been chiefly engaged in both agriculture and military service since then until recent times. However, since the independence of India, Sainis have diversified into different trades and professions other than military and agriculture. Sainis are now also seen in increasing numbers as businessmen, lawyers, professors, civil servants, engineers, doctors and research scientists, etc.
In Old Era & Modern Era Period in Punjab Sikh Saini Professions were Flower Suppliers, Lentil (Dal) Suppliers, Spices and Masala Suppliers, Sunflower and Sweetcorn Oil Suppliers


Sainis profess in both Hinduism and Sikhism.

Sikhism does not endorse caste based distinctions in society that lead to unequal opportunities for some people. In fact, Sikhism completely rejects class or race based distinctions between humans, that leads us to make an inequitable society. Such distinctions have surfaced only due to ill interests of certain section of people, who, on the pretext of making a society more manageable through these classifications, eventually paved the way to an unequal grouping within the human race.

So, please treat this article as a source of general information about this issue and kindly do not amend this article to highlight this important underlying Sikh principle.
