"Vor Ihro Kayserliche Majestät, hab ich, wie immer schuldigen Respect. Er aber, sags ihm, er kann mich im Arsch lecken."
"Wenn das Herz mit Zweifeln lebt // so wird es für die Seele herb // Häßlich ist es und ist schön // wo der Sinn des Manns von Kraft // gemischt ist, farblich kontrastiert // gescheckt wie eine Elster."
"Verständig seid so im Geben als auch im Behalten."
"Um edel zu empfinden, // Lasst Scham nicht aus der Seele schwinden."
"Jugend hat viel Herrlichkeit, // Alter Seufzen viel und Leid."
"Ihr hättet Mitleid zeigen müssen // mit ihm, den Gott gezeichnet hat, // ihn nach den Leiden fragen müssen!"
""Er richtete sich auf und fragte://`Oheim, was quält dich?´"
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.
