The problem with this article is that it has no references. Second error is that that currently there are no authentic Sainis found south of Haryana (some parts of Haryana included). The article shows Sainis as a pan-Indian occupational caste which is unfounded and incorrect. According to 1881 census there were no Sainis to be found outside undivided Punjab (references are available). In the 20th century all kinds of groups (Malis, etc) adopted Saini identity. This needs mention too to prevent the dilution of Saini identity. Also, Sainis have no links with Sakyas, Reddys , Malis etc. These groups have been erroneously linked with Sainis. --Internet Scholar 18:51, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
