"Zur Freiheit hat uns Christus befreit. Bleibt daher fest und lasst euch nicht von neuem das Joch der Knechtschaft auflegen!"
"Ordnung und Ordnung allein fĂĽhren endgĂĽltig zur Freiheit. Unordnung schafft Knechtschaft."
"Mir ist die gefährliche Freiheit lieber als eine ruhige Knechtschaft."
"Der höchste denkbare Grad der Gleichheit, der Communismus, ist, weil er die Unterdrückung aller natürlichen Neigungen voraussetzt, der höchste denkbare Grad der Knechtschaft."
"Das Übermaß der Freiheit wird Sklaverei, denn wenn es keine Autorität mehr gibt, so ist der Starke unumschränkt, und der Schwache verfällt dem Rechte der Faust. Die Überspannung der Freiheit führt nicht allein zur Knechtschaft, sondern ist selbst schon Knechtschaft."
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.

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.
