"I want to tell stories about humans and our dilemmas. I want to explore things that impact our soul, mind and society. Something that is deeper and teaches people about themselves."
"Our society is in a speedy process of decay. It comes from every angle. We talk about state capture and liberalism. We push for human rights but in that is a trap where we push the rights of people to a point that we overlook the principles and ethics of society."
"I don't want to be a person that says people shouldn't express themselves but I am wary of expressions that affect the young mind. Especially the young mind that has not yet formed its own opinions or been rooted in morals and ethics."
"The moral decay impacts the young so aggressively that even what they watch on TV that can harm them becomes normalized. It is not right."
"I don't hear preachers or even the bishops coming out and applauding the witnesses' strength. My fear is around our morals and ethics are going down and it is always in the name of us having the rights as human beings to do what we want and feel like it and no one should question us."
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.
