"Die Minarette unsere Bajonette, die Kuppeln unsere Helme // Die Moscheen unsere Kasernen, die Gläubigen unsere Soldaten // Diese göttliche Armee ist bereit // […] // Gott ist groß, Gott ist groß."
"Worüber wir aber geschockt sind, ist die Tatsache, daß einige Schüler unserer Schule den Mord an der jungen Frau gut finden und sich an der allgemeinen Hetze und an Aktionen gegen Frauen, die nicht so sind, wie sie sein müssen, beteiligen."

- 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.
