"I know a ‘swimming pool’ where these ‘young people who disturb’ can go and swim separately following their ‘own schedule’: the Mediterranean Sea."
"Geert Wilders was my first teacher. I had the opportunity to work for him for half a year. An incredibly educational experience. Then I became spokesperson for Filip Dewinter, one of the most influential politicians of the past decades. It is a great honor that I can succeed him as party leader in Antwerp."
"I'm not Extreme Right Because Extreme Right stands for fascism. which is revolutionary, violent and anti-democratic. I am none of the three. I am an anti-fascist. I get really mad when people call me fascist or racist. Others in my party would shrug, not me. I think that's defamation."
"The majority of Muslim Afghans have similar radical Islamic ideas as the Taliban."

- 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.
