History[]

Duna Princely State existed since the time of Mughals. During the first war of independence in 1857, Nawab Hasan Ali of Dujana played key role.^[1][2]

Before, it became a Princely State it was under the Nawab of Jhajjar. A war between the Army of Nawab and residents of Dujana & few other nearby villages took place. Locals confirm the war and reason was that Nawab was willing to marry a Dujana Girl but family and village denied for this. So, when Nawab attacked the village in arrogance with army of 40,000 strength troops then all residents of Dujana and few nearby villages fought the war against Nawab, note that, every male who was able to fight took part in this war and they defeated (literally by butchering) the nawab army and Nawab was severely injured in this fight but somehow their army saved him. In this war 60 to 70% of residents of Dujana & few nearby villages also lost their life but they saved their honour and after this a Princely State named with Dujana created.^{[citation needed]} Note that this was the smallest princely state.
