"My husband is a veggie and I always wanted to try it. Our first step was making our entire family go âorganic.â I only wish we had done it sooner! I also read a book called âSkinny Bitchâ, which opened my eyes to cruelty to animals, and that was it! It hasnât been that hard for me."
"There are so many good reasons not to eat meat, but for me, the well-being of my children is the most important. ⌠I want them to be healthy and also to understand that when they say âNo!â to meat, theyâre saying âNo!â to animal cruelty. We talk about our pets, and I say, âYou wouldnât eat Biscuit, would you? Well, then letâs not eat any animal, O.K.? ⌠I donât think I really realized what I was putting into my body and the actual effects that it was having on me, so now I feel so much healthier, and I have so much more energy, and foods taste better!"
"As long as I'm the director of Miss Nevada, we will never award fur coats as prizes, and I urge my fellow pageant directors to make the same pledge. Kind people today are taking a stand against cruelty to animalsâso a fur coat is no prize for a compassionate, socially-aware woman."
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.
