"There was a time I was talking to Don Jazzy, he’s my personal friend, and he told me whenever I am ready to travel to Nigeria, I should hit him up."
"I don’t have enough resources right now—and they aren’t just financial. But it’s my biggest dream to cross borders."
"You have to understand you have to strengthen the home fanbase and I have done that. I wanted to do a concert first and I did. Next was to do an album—and it’s ready for release. Then I’ll do a media tour for it outside Uganda."
"Love. It is a love song. Love is the inspiration. It talks about somebody you truly love and any small thing they do simply magnifies to a higher frequency."
"(Laughs) By the time I was at Coke Studio, I had already recorded the song but I had not yet done the video. The song had been recorded with Micheal Fingers at Masters Studios. At Coke Studio, the lady requested for my songs since I had no video for it, I played my other videos and the audio for Drum and guess what? She fell in love with Drum."

- 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.
