"Wir Evangelische sollten uns aber auch keinen Illusionen hingeben, dass "Rom" zu einem echten Dialog auf Augenhöhe bereit wäre. Ökumene sieht aus römischer Warte wohl eher so aus, dass die Evangelischen zurückkommen ins alte Boot dieser Kirche."
""Es hat natürlich Schlagzeilen gegeben, ich fand das ganz amüsant. Das Interessante daran ist die Debatte, die wir seit langem innerhalb der Wikipedia führen: Was soll man löschen, was soll drin bleiben? Wo zieht man die Grenze? Ich bin ein stärkerer Verfechter des Löschens als viele andere"
""Ein Dialog besteht darin, daß Menschen miteinander sprechen, aber sie sprechen nicht nur miteinander, sondern schweigen auch gleichsam miteinander, sprechen gegeneinander oder sprechen aneinander vorbei"."
""Das Ziel des Dialogs ist nicht Unterwerfung und Sieg, auch nicht Selbstbehauptung um jeden Preis, sondern gemeinsame Arbeit in der Methode und in der Sache"."
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.
