"...in certain circumstances, different cultural institutions have hired folks. It could be on a temporary basis. It could be on a more long term basis to help support Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects from within an institution, to help connect the collections at the institution or the areas of study of the institution with the Wikimedia websites and with the community, and various communities. So this actually started, around museums. So that was previously as the Wikimedia residents at the Guggenheim and at the Met. It's an idea of sort of modeled on an artist in residence, which is a strange analogy, but that's the terminology they have. But it's basically finding a way to make connections between the larger volunteer communities and the institution and finding ways that these institutions can collaborate with each other. It's part of a larger network."

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.
