"There is a plethora of opportunities to collaborate with world-class researchers"
"I am looking forward to contributing to the groundbreaking cross-disciplinary research in physical health, sports, leisure, and recreation being pioneered at KSR"
"I anticipate that the environmental justice lens I adopt will be key to advancing research in KSR, which is focused on critical issues. I am excited to pursue an understanding of the linkages between access to recreational resources (in virtual and physical environments) and the well-being of marginalized and minoritized populations such as racialized groups, first nations, people living with disabilities and LGBTQ+ populations. I expect to further focus on how access emerges from well-being related outcomes of socio-physical exchanges (such as exchanges across user communities and elements in recreational environments) and socio-technical interactions (such as interactions among user communities and design professionals of recreational environments)."
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.
