During the 18th century, the Mughal Empire had begun to weaken and crumble, with it gave rise to the 12 Sikh Misl's.

The Nawab boosted about his son (the prince Budh Singh) and challenged anyone to defeat him in Kabaddi, and if they did he would grant them a prize.

With this he was now known as Baba Duhaar a zamindar (noble), and with 500 acers of land he founded the village of Duhre, north east of Alawalpur.

Later on he would give his brother Dollu some land as well, who would use it to create the village of Dolike; less than kilometer away from Duhre.

Saria and Khber: are not part of the Duhra Family, they settled from outside the village during the Partition of India.

Also many of the members of this family would later migrate from Punjab, India, in search for work, and settle in: United Kingdom, Australia, USA, Europe, and Middle East.
