Best Answer

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

Jawahar Lal Nehru. Nehru was a very shrewed politician. With his personal background, he could not fit into Indian politics.

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.
