"You know, I take that being from the Philippines, born in the Philippines, very true to heart. I think it's part of who I am. So just being able to go to different parts of the country and to be able to play the sport that I love and just showing younger girls that, you know, they can do this too. They can dream big. They can dream fearlessly."
"I think that was enough time for us to learn the playing style that he wants us to play. I think we are all on the same page and we all know how he wants us to play."
"Gutted, heartbroken, disappointed and confused but as the saying goes, everything happens for a reason and I have faith knowing God’s plan is bigger than my own."
"I will continue to stay true to myself as a person and player and not let one person’s decision or opinion of me change that. I hold my head up high knowing I did everything I could to compete for a roster spot both at my professional club and during pre-camp."
"My story and experience involving the national team these past months will be shared soon when I feel ready and I hope I can continue to represent the Philippines again in the future in a healthier environment."
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.
