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 shini curse mug.The most useless perk in Fallout New Vegas, added by the Dead Money DLC. Available at Level 2, for some reason, and requires 20 Repair, and 70 Science skill points. All because of one programming error, it has become the most infamous perk ever to exist since Here and Now. Even if you use unofficial bug fixes, it's still useless.
Person1: Oh boy! I levelled up! Should i take In Shining Armor? It sounds cool, since i wear Metal Armor!
Person2: Dude, don't take that one. Don't waste your perk point on this one.
Person2: Dude, don't take that one. Don't waste your perk point on this one.
