The Hanjra family, the village’s sole landholders, owns vast areas of land and is regarded as one of the wealthiest, most educated, and advantaged tribes in the region. The family descends from Sufi Islamic scholar Hafiz Mian Barkhurdar and is well known for their intellect and educational contributions, which are said to have inspired the village's name, "Samunder," symbolizing depth of knowledge and wisdom.

They are also recognised for their commitment to religious teachings and Islamic practices.
