"I want to tell everyone that no one will wait for the Maidan in Georgia. I want to remind you what the results of the Maidan were like for Ukraine. Then the Ukrainian authorities were actually appointed from the outside, first once, then twice, and as a result, the one who appointed the authorities from the outside did not take responsibility for the events that unfolded in Ukraine in the future. Until 2013, Ukraine was a state that had territorial integrity, with an economy of 2200 billion, and today the country has collapsed, the country's economy has shrunk qualitatively over so many years, 20% of the country's territories are occupied, tens of thousands of people have died, and who will take responsibility for this? No one is responsible for this. Accordingly, most of all, we must protect the country's independence, because no one else will take responsibility for protecting Georgia's interests. Best of all, the example of Ukraine showed us this, so we must take care of the independence of our country, the state."
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.
