"As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape international security narratives and paradigms, I am pleased to welcome Dr. Paul Scharre. Paul Scharre is the vice president and director of studies at Center for a New American Security. He is the award-winning author of the book Four Battlegrounds: Power in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. His first book Army of None: Autonomous Weapons and the Future of War has won several awards and is seen as instrumental in understanding modern warfare."
"There is growing recognition and action to promote the balanced and meaningful participation of women and men in global security and disarmament processes. Through my position, I will actively support efforts to promote greater diversity of perspectives, equal participation of women and men and give room to innovate. I will also endeavor to bridge the gaps between disarmament policy and emerging fields such as in science and technology"
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
