"Laney amplifiers are known for their powerful and clear sound. While the company may be less well known, as compared to the likes of its compatriots Orange and Marshall, it may come as a surprise that this competitor has been around since 1967 and is one of the earliest brands to contribute to the British sound."
"With an emphasis on clarity, Laney amplifiers appeal to various musicians across a broad range of musical styles. They've gained popularity for their durability and value, making them a solid choice for gigging players, and the range embraces tube technology to generate warm, smooth tones, often with multiple channel switching options. They ably tread the line between classic and contemporary styling and technology and even offer a range of nifty boutique effect pedals to help you get the most out of your amplifier. Not only does Laney provide some impressive sound quality, but it is also one of the most visually appealing brands that offers more than a nod to the effortlessly cool styles of yesteryear."
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.
