The following people addressed Gandhi as the Father of the Nation:
1) Subash Chandraboss
2) Rabindranath Tagore called Gandhi as father of the nation
3) Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose
4) Subhas Chandra Bose addressed Gandhiji for the first time ever as "Father of the Nation".
5) The first one to say was the nethaji subash chandra bose in 1944
6) Neharu
7) It was just a Belief and Say that Netaji Subhash Chander Bose or Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru used this word, and it has been accepted in History.
8) Nowhere in the written constitution of India there has been any evidence of Mahatma Gandhi designated as Father of the Nation.
9) Subhash Chandra Bose or Jawahar Lal Nehru
10) It was just a hearsay type of title Gandhi got by destiny. Subhash had said him as Father of the Nation sarcastically when he was asked to step down from the Presidentship of Congress by Gandhi and Nehru had uttered this word in his speech on the Independence Day to save the political hierarchy for himself so that other deserving names don't pop up for the sake of pseudo secularism.
11) And people started calling him Rashtrapita.
12) There is no legal provision I believe in the Constitution of India to name Gandhi as Rashtrapita
Neta ji Subhash chandra BOSE .was the first one who gave this title to Mahatama Gandhi.it was the day 22nd fev 1944. thanks.

The name of Indira Gandhi father was Jawharlal Nehru. He was the first prime minister of India as well.
It might be Gandhi (for certain reasons), it might be Nehru (as first president of the new independent democracy).
Gandhi was a pacifist who wanted his home country of India to be free of British rule. Gandhi was assassinated before that happened. He is revered in India as a founding father of the new nation of India. Jawaharlal Nehru was the first Prime Minister of the free India in 1947. Both men are honored in India.
While Gandhi is called Father of India, Swami Dayanand is to be called as Grandfather of India since Dayanand is the political father of the Father of the Nation - what Gandhi practised to achieve freedom, Dayanand had preached taught and practised a century ago in 1876 when Mohan Das Gandhi was only 7 years old.
Jawahar Lal Nehru. Nehru was a very shrewed politician. With his personal background, he could not fit into Indian politics. He needed a person to protect his image and for that he chose Mohan Das Gandhi. It was a political compromise after Gandhi returned from South Africa after his failures and acquired a naked fakir image. Gandhi became his protector and due to his saintly attitude always helped Nehru whether he was right or wrong . So when an opportunity came in one of the initial meetings of the Constitutional assembly of India he put these words 'father of the nation' in one of his resolutions and the word got acceptance. This way he returned the Bapu's Blessings and paid back the favors he had been receiving for his personal political goals.

First, Jawarharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India was Indira's father and not Gandhi. Indira Gandhi was her married name. Her husband was Feroz Gandhi. She was never the president, but she was elected as the Prime Minister of India twice.
