Would adamantine Dastana count as light armor for granting damage reduction? Also, do shields provide damage reduction if made from adamantine?
Thanks in advance.

Nope, Dastana and Chahai-arai don't count as armor, the only require certain armor proficiencies to wear without penalties. Only armor grants the DR bonus from adamantine, but you'd have a nice hard shield that could overcome DR X/Adamantine with a shield bash.
