Saini is a sub-caste within the Indian Caste system. It is derived from "Sini" from the Hindu Story/Epic "Mahabharata". It exists within the heirachy of Kshatriya -> Rajputs -> Saini -> Family Name (Surname); The surname can be Saini as well.
Sainis are a farming community/caste spread across Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Uttar Pradesh in Northern India. Other than states, members of this group are also found in Maharashtra, Orissa, Chattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
Like members of other farming castes, Sainis generally used to avoid priestly duties, shopkeeping, or anything else except farming. However, with rapid modernization and urbanization, this is no longer the norm.
With the rise of Sikhism in the fifteenth century, many Sainis converted to the faith so that there is a substantial Sikh Saini population today especially in Punjab and its neighbouring states.

Get the Saini mug.
Sainy is a very smart and creative person. She can be annoying but she means no harm she just wants friends. She is the most loyal friend you might ever have. When it comes to lecturing you she is VERY down to earth and sometimes be mean but she or he is just looking out for you. Most sainy’s are Very pretty if you ask me. She can be very cute and nice which makes people fall for her.

A type of South Asian girl preferably Indian,who is "beautiful". One who is ambitious, loyal, talented ,caring and loves to eat a ton of chocolates. People named Suhani Saini also tend to be incredibly fun to be around, making everyone around them a little happier . At times, she is motivated more by moods and desires than by sound logic and reason, under conditions of stress she could react in advertently in temper or stubbornness that you would regret later. She's everything one wants.
1. You are so lucky that you have "Suhani Saini" as your friend and mentor.
2. I never felt alone from the day I met Suhani Saini.
3. Don't mess with Suhani Saini, she's not in good mood.
