Shoorsaini,

Here is one of them. It connects both Saini and Shoorsaini and says how people of Shoorsaini community ended up with different names. It also clearly identifies them as Saini Rajputs. This reference should be enought but you will never be able to convince those who are blind by choice.

“Many of the of these clans , in the past, had established their rule in different parts of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab and were named after powerful kings. For different periods, the community was then known by its clans or segments rather than Shoorsainis. Thus the community came to be known by different names in different areas depdending upon the area of origin, name of the king that ruled the area, or occupation they pursued. In due course these became caste or subcaste names. Thus, one can notice that Sainis are known by different names such Sarsaini, Rajput Saini…”
