"按照共产党的说法，就所有这美帝国主义的东西都是骗子都垃圾，都是资本主义的嘛，是不是？只有共产党的是好的，对吧？ 就共产党你看它干啥事？共产党说我是无神主义，对吧，我是无神主义，所以我把所有的神要杀掉。佛教、穆斯林、新疆人、基督教最近抓得一塌糊涂，天主教、道教到处扫荡。为什么？因为我是神，我要当神我就要灭掉所有的神。大家我说的是事实吧？几年前七哥就说了吧？"
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.
