"It's hard to imagine The PJs, a harmless slice-of-life cartoon series about black people could work in our overly-sensitive and sheltered times where anything and everything is deemed offensive by people with too much time on their hands. The PJs, which stands for the Projects (a common term for low-rent housing in the inner-city), takes us to a world that most Americans can't imagine exists. Yet the show's appeal goes beyond targeting a single demographic for one simple reason: at its core, The PJs is about people pulling together in the best and worst of times, and helping each other out."
"While I question the sanctity of having eight executive producers on any show, everything seems to have turned out okay this time around."
"[W]hat is most amazing is the show's level of craftsmanship and quality which is maintained throughout the grueling requirements of producing a weekly animated show on a TV budget. The animation is heightened by the attention to detail that is paid to the surroundings. The worn-look of the projects is perfectly recreated with broken bottles, graffiti galore and other authentic props."
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.
