"Tod und Leiden sind die Fragen, die jeden Menschen beschäftigen, der in die Welt geboren wird. Davon, wie er für sich diese Fragen löst (oder nicht löst), hängt seine Lebenseinstellung ab – ob bewusst oder unbewusst."
"Plötzlich sah ich mich in eine Position versetzt, aus der mein Leben in einem anderen Licht erschien. In diesem Moment hatte ich das starke Empfinden, noch nicht reif zu sein für das Sterben. Und die Frage tauchte auf, was ich in der mir verbleibenden Zeit noch bewältigen könnte."
"Ich könnte meine Musik mit weißem Licht vergleichen, in dem alle Farben enthalten sind. Nur ein Prisma kann diese Farben voneinander trennen und sichtbar machen, dieses Prisma könnte der Geist des Zuhörers sein."

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.
