Sarans were said to be found cheifly around Gurdaspur and Sialkot regions of United Punjab. The Sarai/Saran are said to be a well known clan.

They were known as Sultanis in these districts and were followers of Sakhi Sarwars a Sufi mystic. They are also said to be a branch of the Sindhu/Sandhu tribe. According to Mackenzie, they have a holy reputation and retain an uncut lock on the crown of their heads. Even amongst Muslims Saran/Sarai families they do not cut their hair as they see it as a sign of nobility.

The Sarai were said to avoid Tobacco more then other clans, and heads of the family were known for never rising regardless of who entered in their midst.

According to Hoshiar Singh Duleh, Akali Phoola Singh, the great Sikh general of Sukkerchakia(Maharaja Ranjit Singh's kingdom) is a Saran Jatt.

A disciple of Baba Nanak(Guru Nanak Dev ji) had a saying for the Sarai/Saran:

"Sikh Sarai dono bhai, Baba Nanak putt banai"

translation:

The Sikhs and the Sarai's are both brothers, Baba Nanak made them his sons.

Most Saran/Sarai converted from Sufism to Sikhism during Guru Nanak Dev ji's times, and present day Saran is a small yet prosperous and respected clan in the Malwa belt of east Punjab. Today this clan has its highest prominence in Faridkot dist. of Punjab, they are very strong landlords here. They were numbered at around 36, 000 in a 1881 census.
