“ In these days of rampant selfishness, narrowness and corrupt individualism, if the spirit of Dadhichi could be invoked to rouse a sense of social duty in our hearts and give us the power to place ourselves second to the social good it may yet save us from complete moral bankruptcy. ”

“ When the community, of which the individual is but a part and through which alone is it possible for the individual to attain completeness, is in some great danger, either external or internal, it is renunciation on the part of the individual and nothing else that can save it. Dadhichi was one who gladly died to serve the community and for good. ”

“ In this age of historical research one would ask us who Dadhichi was and the exact circumstances and setting of his life. We might also be asked to prove that Dadhichi really was somebody and that he actually made some sacrifice for some cause. But we must own up that we shall not be able to satisfy the curiosity of critical historians. In olden days people had a habit of deifying great men and associating their life and deeds with the gods. ”
