"I look forward to using my career to improve the lives of other women. Being on television exposed me to the many issues young girls are struggling with such as confidence and self-acceptance. This sparked the idea to start She Speaks, a women empowerment programme that encourages self-love. I host events where women can share their experiences in safe spaces."
"My vision is to be the epitome of God’s unlimited glory. This personal ‘why’ keeps me going, knowing that if I can inspire a young girl, then I have fulfilled my mission."
"My personal mandate has always been to be an example of God's unlimited glory, by reaching all corners of the world with a lasting legacy."
"I prefer not to be on my toes."
"I'm always on the run, I'm always on my toes and I've realised the importance of grounding myself. I find more pleasure and value with having my feet firmly on the ground."
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.
