Moza Samunder is a village located approximately 6.5 km from Lari Adda Bhowana, in Chiniot District of Punjab, Pakistan.
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.[citation needed] 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.[citation needed] The Hanjra family has a long-standing reputation for serving the community through education, upholding strong moral values, and practicing hospitality.[citation needed] They are also recognised for their commitment to religious teachings and Islamic practices.[citation needed]
While agriculture has traditionally been the main occupation, the newer generation, despite its strong educational background, is increasingly working in government and private sectors, as well as running their own businesses.[citation needed]
