"They know that even if I win in all 58 polling stations, I won’t be able to overcome their manipulated results, which I’m not even allowed to view. I refuse to take part in this blatant falsehood of limiting the vote to only 58 stations. I’m running as an independent."

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.
