-''The rai was in affright, and sent for Gurdan Saini, who was the most experienced warrior amongst the 40,000 rawats under the rai, and had seen many fights among the Hindus. "Sometimes he had gone with the advance to Malwa ; sometimes he had gone plundering in Gujarat." The Saini took 10,000 rawats with him from Jhain, and advanced against the Turks, and, after a severe action, he was slain...''

-"Gurdan" appears to be an ''apabhransha'' or distortion of the name Govardhan which is a very common Hindu name. "Gurdan" name is also common among Sikhs of Punjab, although in the era of Gurdan Saini, Sikhism was not yet born.

-The account of this Saini general who commanded a force of 10,000 Rajput fighters and achieved martyrdom almost reads like a eulogy even from a hostile Turk account.

-==Background==
+[[Category:Clearwater, Florida]]
-It is not clear from the primary sources which area or which Rajput tribe Gurdan Saini belonged to. One fact that is self-evident that he was most certainly a Rajput as Rajputs customarily did not fight under the command of non-Rajputs.

-====No relation with present day Mali community====
+{{Florida-school-stub}}
-Currently Mali community of Rajasthan and central Indian provinces uses the last name 'Saini'. But Mali community started using the last name 'Saini' only in 20th century. This is also evident from the fact that census of India conducted in 1881 confirms that Saini community was not found outside Punjab, which included present day Himachal Pradesh and Haryana. Based on this information it can be categorically stated that Gurdan Saini had no relation with the present day Mali caste of Rajasthan and central provinces. Secondly, Mali community was singularly known for its non-martial background.
-====Most likely from the Shoorsaini lineage of Yaduvanshi Rajputs====
-Gurdan Saini was most likely related to present day Saini community found in Punjab and Haryana who trace their origin to Shoorsaini line of Yaduvanshi Rajputs of  Mathura. Mathura's region previously known was Shoorsena or Surasena, after Lord Krishna's grandfather Shoorsena.
-It is not very clear how and when the Yaduvanshi Saini Rajputs moved to Punjab but their westward movement is confirmed by following verses from Vishnu Purana and Mahabharata:
