"In the past 50 years, hundreds of foreign scientists have earned their doctorates using the fossilized dinosaur discoveries found in the Mongolian Gobi. Today, all these findings have become the main marketing highlights of many museums around the world, continuing to attract streams of tourists."
"People often think that science is far removed from everyday life. But in reality, science is one of the foundations of our existence. For example, birds are a type of dinosaur. Only through detailed research can we determine the causes of climate change, the frequency of natural disasters, and changes in animals’ habitats. When a lake dries up, the mud at the bottom hardens, and the animals living there die off."
"Millions of years later, science proves from those rocks that a lake once existed there. Therefore, science is not about memorizing facts, but rather a path of discovery that begins with the question “why.” While people applaud the results, understanding the methodology that produced them is even more valuable."
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.
