The Darbhanga Raj, a Maithil Brahmin zamindari dynasty founded in the 16th century under Mughal Emperor Akbar, was among India's wealthiest estates with peak wealth exceeding 2,000 crore rupees; despite never being recognized as a princely state under British rule, they made extraordinary contributions to India, including donating 600 kg of gold during the 1962 war and establishing institutions like airports and universities, yet less than 2% of their wealth remains today, demonstrating that true legacy lies in sacrifice and national service rather than material accumulation.

The Story of Darbhanga Raj: Bihar’s Greatest Estate | The Bharat PostAñadido:
There was a time when a royal family stood among the richest in India, the Darbhanga royal family. Wealth, power, legacy. In 1962, when the nation stood at war, they gave India 600 kg of gold.
[music] They gave more than gold, land, aircraft, institutions. Airports, universities, [music] cities grew from their generosity. At their peak, their wealth crossed 2,000 crore rupees. You think they're rich even today, but the truth is less than 2% of that wealth remains. Palaces fell silent, fortunes disappeared. Yet, their sacrifice didn't because some families don't [music] leave behind riches. They leave behind a nation's gratitude.
