Agriculture had been the major profession of Sainis since the Turko-Islamic conquest of North India. However after militarization of Sikhs Sainis once again joined armed insurrection against Turko-Islamic rule as part of Khalsa armies. Even among Hindu Saini families it was customary to raise at least one son as a Sikh and dedicate him to military service in Sikh militant bands spread all over Punjab, engaged first in armed insurgency and later in a full scale war against the oppresive Turko-Pathan rule. Agriculture and military service were the main professions of Sainis since the Sikh rebellion and conquest of Punjab.The British Raj Land Settlement Report for Jalandhar division in 1892 reported the Sainis in increasing numbers in their original profession i.e army, especially in cavalry, in addition to being in agriculture.
