"Les Plaisirs de la Table, chez cette Nation heureuse, sont au rang des Plaisirs ordinaires & communs: tout le monde est accoutumé ici à faire bonne chére. Ils la font consister principalement dans leurs differens Poudins, dans les Guldenpepins, qui sont une excellente sorte de Pommes reinettes, dans les Huitres vertes, qui sont délicieuses, & dans le Bœuf roti, qui fait le grand plat, fur la Table du Roi, aussi bien que fur celle de l'Artisan; il n'est point rare de voir de ces piéces de Bœuf de vingt jusques à trente livres, & on en voit même de trentrente jusques à quarante: c'est comme le Signe de la Prospérité & de l'Abondance génerale des Anglois."

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.

- Gopal Mukund Huddar

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.

- Gopal Mukund Huddar

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.

- Gopal Mukund Huddar

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.
