Claim record · DOS-I.1

Name and its toponymic origin

A Strongly documented Life

His full name as history records it is Sardar Teja Singh Samundri. “Samundri” is a toponym, not a family surname: it attached to him from Samundri tahsil, Lyallpur district, where his family settled after a land assignment.

This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Strongly documented — permits.
