"I don't play in any tournaments to come second best."
"[H]e speaks up for others when it doesn’t benefit him a jot — female athletes, specifically. No other male athlete (or male sports writer) has defended female athletes as loudly and consistently as Murray, arguing for equal pay for female tennis players and more women's matches on Wimbledon's Centre Court. He repeatedly reminded male commentators of the Williams sisters' existence, such as when John Inverdale claimed in 2016 that Murray was the first person to win two Olympic gold medals for tennis — Murray pointed out that the Williams sisters had four each, albeit not for singles — and then again when an American reporter claimed in 2017 that [[w:Sam Querrey|[Samuel] Querrey]] was the first American to reach a grand slam final since 2009. "Male player," Murray interrupted, referring to Serena Williams's multiple wins in that time. When you're blinded by vanity and greed, you no longer see your own moral compass. Murray never had that problem."
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.
