"Some people think about Wikipedia as a technological projects. I don't think of it as that way. I think of it as a community project and really community organizing. And that could be done one level with like volunteers in different places and another way could be done, throughout an institution... finding the stakeholders and what folks are interested in and ways to support them. And the nice thing about Wikipedia is it's kind of an encyclopedia. And so it has a little bit of everything. And so there are a lot of different aspects of CUNY, of the University, of classes that folks teach, of archival projects, that might match up with different aspects of the wikiverse."

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.

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.
