"3 Jeff Q (talk) 23:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC). I'm embarrassed that my country is the world's most obvious transgressor in this matter, and that many of my fellow citizens cannot seem to comprehend the hypocrisy. How are we any better than the terrible nationalists in any other nation, in any other time in history? Oh, yeah — because we're right. Sigh."
"4, ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki ⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 23:12, 16 June 2015 (UTC), but trimmed to eliminate the leading "But" — and even though the particular context of this statement is not specified, as one where unjust coercive cultural norms and state laws in support of regional racism were countered by relatively just coercions of the US federal government in its Civil Rights Act. -->"

"3 Zarbon (talk) 01:35, 1 April 2019 (UTC) yes, I like this one as well as it depicts usage of the ostrich in the sense of going into danger as opposed to backing out of it and characterizes it in a historic sense. -->"
"3 Zarbon (talk) 01:35, 1 April 2019 (UTC) I was deliberating adding this one but didn't as it might lack context, but it's one of my favorite quips by him."

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.
