"Pflichten werden nicht um ihrer selbst willen erfüllt, sondern weil ihre Mißachtung das Behagen des Menschen beeinträchtigen würde."
"Meine Ehrungen sind Missverständnis, Verfolgung und Missachtung, verstärkt weil nicht erstrebt."
"Man wird schwerlich in der Welt noch eine andere Gesellschaft finden, die ihre eigene Sprache so schamlos miĂźachtet und so hemmungslos aufgibt, wie die deutsche Gesellschaft."
"Intelligente Leute arbeiten nicht freiwillig in einer Atmosphäre von Missachtung und Beschimpfungen."
"Autoritarismus ist eine Bedrohung, die unsere ganze Geschichte durchzieht. Und noch immer hören wir auch von dieser Gewalt jeden Tag in den Nachrichten. Institutionen, die nicht funktionieren, Angst davor, gerechte Gesetze zu machen und gerechte Urteile zu fällen. Und mit der Missachtung der Gesetze und der Verfassung geht eine Rhetorik einher, die Verlogenheit und mangelnde Transparenz im politischen Leben verdeckt."
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.
