"Nichts ist so sicher geschützt, dass es nicht mit Geld erobert werden kann."
"Lieben heißt, in dem Anderen sich selbst erobern."
"Ich bin der Überzeugung, dass der Islam sehr stark kämpferische, sieghafte Elemente fast absolut setzt. Mohammed war ein Krieger. Eroberung ist im Islam ein zentrales Paradigma. In der Bibel hat es von Anfang an eine große Möglichkeit der Annahme Anderer gegeben, in ihr finden sich so aufregende Aussagen wie 'Du sollst den Fremden annehmen wie Dich selbst'."
"Gib einem Mädchen die richtigen Schuhe und sie wird die Welt erobern."
"Frauen wollen nicht nur erobern, sie wollen auch erobert sein."

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.
