"There is still a Flat Earth Society, so imagine the existence of a Bibipent Society, devoted to the notion that 2 + 2 = 5. Such a society might well have filed suit to stop the schools from teaching 2 + 2 = 4 as if it were a fact, and require them to present it as “only theory,” with 2 + 2 = 5 as an alternative possibility, deserving equal time. They would doubtless say that the purpose of a school is to educate, not to indoctrinate. (Does all this sound familiar? That’s the way it is with creationism and evolution.)"

"Newscaster: Last week’s murders marked a grim escalation in the already deeply divided nation. Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley has denied any responsibility for the violence leading up to last year’s election and instead blames opposition leader Edward Seaga for fueling the flames that led to the murders. The perpetrators are now held in detention camps known as Gun Courts. Among those taken into custody are Claudie Massop and Bucky Marshall, rival gang leaders suspected of fomenting the violence."

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.
