"0 Kalki 20:49, 7 September 2009 (UTC) * 2 Kalki 16:28, 7 September 2005 (UTC) I would rank this higher, with a 3, or even a 4, but it is not sourced, and I have not yet found much to go on definitely tying it or anything like it to Sellers."

"Life is glad life when led by laughing hours, With joys of love or spoils of battle gilt; When darkness steals the day and shuts the flowers, Our arms are shattered and the wine is spilt, We rise as grateful guests from banquet gay, Resign the wreath, and toss the glass away."
"Death is dark death when slurred with terrors vain: Whether blest isles or fields Elysian wait, Or all is silent o'er the circling main, We know not ever; but we conquer Fate, Assail the mansions of the Gods, and claim The crown of valour, in a deathless name."
"Tis well to live for glory, home, and land; And, when these fail us, it is well to die. The latest freedom never fails our hand, From scornful Earth, on wings of scorn, to fly; When Life grows heavy. Death remains, the door To dreamless rest beside the Stygian shore."
"The portals open to our meteor way: A red dawn breaks the shadows of the hour. We leave the bitter cup of alien sway, To hinds that crouch beneath the heels of power. Ours the triumphal path, the hero's right; And Death hangs o'er us like a starry night!"
"Greece and the world are Rome's: her stars prevail; But our complexion shifts not with the gale. When ONE against a NATION plays his life, He bears from hosts the glory of the strife: Until the hero's godlike race be run I shall be loyal to the setting sun."
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.
