"Wenn man Gerechtigkeit im Kleinen übt, so hat man im Kleinen Glück, wenn man sie im Großen übt, so hat man im Großen Glück. Mit dem Unheil ist es nicht so. Wenig ist immer noch schlimmer als gar nichts."
"„Sonntag waren wir in Pompeji. – Es ist viel Unheil in der Welt geschehen, aber wenig, das den Nachkommen so viel Freude gemacht hätte“"
"In der Katastrophe nimmt sich das Unheil nur selten die Zeit, um für unser Gesicht die rechte Maske zu liefern."
"Durch Weiber kann nur Unheil geschen. // Hörst du zu Ende diesen Bericht, // Besser ist es, du freiest nicht. // Nur einer sittsamen strebe nach, // Ein unartiges Weib bringt Schmach. // Weib und Drache sind besser tot, // Besser die Welt frei von beider Not."
"Das meiste Unheil richtet Leichtgläubigkeit an."
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.
