A tiny Pathan Nawabi state in Haryana, granted by the British in 1806 to a cavalry leader who had served them against the Marathas.

Abdul Samad Khan, a Pathan soldier, served Lord Lake in the Second Anglo-Maratha War, and in 1806 the British granted him Dujana and its villages as a hereditary state.

The Nawabs governed a very small farming territory under British supervision through the Punjab government. Little is recorded of its internal history.

Dujana acceded to India and in 1948 was merged into East Punjab; it lies in Jhajjar district of Haryana.
