Sailana State was founded by Jai Singh, great-grandson of Ratan Singh, founder of Ratlam State in 1736. Jai singh took revenge against his uncle for the murder of his father, he killed him in a pitched battle at sagode and secured Ratlam for his elder brother. The two brothers then split the state between themselves. Jai singh’s capital was initially at Raoti. He built Sailana city as his new capital in 1736. He fought 22 battles in his lifetime, turning Sailana into an independent state. On 5 January 1819 Shailana State became a British protectorate. Its last ruler signed the accession to the Indian Union on 15 June 1948.

The rulers of Sailana State were Rathore Rajputs.

1850 – 11 Oct 1895 Dule Singh- He did a lot for the Bhils of Sailana for which he is still remembered and loved.
Dule singh’s character is shown in the event when he refused the invitation to come to the delhi darbaar in 1877 and bow before the British.
He was sharply reprimanded for this insult to the British Empire.
