"Bangle styles also demonstrate how the Indus artisans produced ornaments that served to unite as well as to differentiate the various communities living in the cities. From the Harappan Phase, we see bangles primarily on female figurines and in female burials, although some males do appear to have worn bangles. Bangles were generally worn on the arms, but circlets that look like bangles were also worn in the hair, on belts, on the ankles or sewn onto clothing. When worn on the arms, three or four bangles were often placed on the wrist and two or more bangles above the elbow, usually with equal numbers of bangles worn on both arms. A slightly modified pattern is depicted on the famous bronze figurines from Mohenjo-daro, where several bangles were worn on the right arm at the wrist and elbow, but the left arm was filled with bangles from wrist to shoulder."

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.
