"Joe Feather: Then you must begin by understanding that my people were destroyed. The Washoe was a mountain tribe and we learned to hide. But even so there are only a few hundred of us left today and we have almost nothing. Of course, we are not alone. Every Native American tribe in America suffered the same way. The white people took all our past away from us and left us without hope of a future. Our parents turned to alcohol to try and forget what has been done to us. Many of our young people have turned to drugs for the same reason. But there are still some of us who walk two worlds. We work in modern America - in the hotels or casinos, or, like me, in the prisons. But we have not forgotten our history. We still tell the story of a great battle that took place at the beginning of time and two heroes - twins - who helped win it."

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.
