"Erziehung des Menschen in der Zivilisation beruht nicht darauf, dass er alles spontan ausdrückt, was ihm gefällt, sondern dass er ein wirksamer, werter Teilnehmer dieser Zivilisation ist, wo die Menschen dazu bereit sind, einander zu helfen, wo sie das Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit zur Gemeinschaft haben, und wo sie den Zusammenhang mit der historischen Tradition ihrer Zivilisation sehen."
"Entsteht nicht ein Kunstwerk nur in dem Moment, wann ich deutlich einen Zusammenhang mit dem Universum vernehme?"
"Die Zusammenhänge sind deutlich, wenn ich auch nicht weiß, welche Zusammenhänge."

- 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.
