"Economic globalization as far as it is affected by selfishness and sin causes globalization of poverty."
"The world is at a crisis and we'll have to act collectively to change the crisis. It will call for a complete change of lifestyle and solidarity and for the development of our own resources because we are rich in natural resources. We should look at it from the point of integral ecology, so not only how much profit do we make but how does ecology effect the social structures."
"No one can say, "I'm not responsible, it's not my fault", we are all responsible. Europe wants the Amazonian people to keep their forest, but they don't want to change their lifestyle. That's a big contradiction. This economy kills. This economy is unjust for the next generation."
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.

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.
