"3 Kalki 21:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC) A good observation, but I believe the other suggestions you made for Constable's "There is nothing ugly; I never saw an ugly thing in my life..." and "The great vice of the present day is bravura, an attempt to do something beyond the truth..." are more powerful expressions. If this one is used I would also wish to extend it for more context thus:"

"4 Kalki 21:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC) Though I don't agree with all the ways by which this statement might be interpreted, it is a powerful statement. I do believe that there is actually ugliness in the world, which exists as a quality in many situations, but apart from circumstances, and most especially the circumstances of how they are perceived, there are no absolutely ugly "things" as such."

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.
