who is truley the father of the nation? nbpminn-iep ?​

Answer:

the father of nation is mahatma ghandhi

Answer: Gandhi

Explanation: Generally, the first President of an independent country is given such a title.

Mahatma Gandhi did not hold such a position, neither did he yearn for it. Subhash Chandra Bose chose such a title because he had seen the role of Gandhiji in building India as an independent nation. A nation is built on its geographical and political boundary. It is built on its emotional unity and not because of its history. Some nations attain emotional unity because of its common language, while some because of the common religion of its people. Bangladesh is an example of having attained emotional unity because of its common language while common religion became the basis of the foundation of Pakistan.

Indians developed the feeling of nationalism because of its emotional unity, because of the common yearning for liberation from the slavery of the British.Mahatma Gandhi was not the first leader who called for independence from British rule. There were many others who too gave a call for independence. Then why did the Parliament of Independent India decide to officially declare only Gandhiji as the Father of the Nation?

Mahatma Gandhi had the distinction of creating an emotional unity among diverse people across such a vast land by infusing nationalism. He did this by creating a strong emotional bonding with the ordinary common people.When asked by a special court in Ahmedabad his name, address and occupation, Gandhiji simply said he was a farmer and a weaver. By saying so, he struck an instant chord with millions of toiling farmers and weavers of our country.

He could strike such bonding with the masses because of his simple lifestyle bereft of pomp and show.Unlike other political leaders who hailed from aristocratic families and maintained urban lifestyle, Gandhiji wore khadi loincloth, spun on charkha, soiled his hands in the farms and cleaned his lavatory in his ashrams in Sabarmati and Sevagram.

Another factor that made Gandhiji strike a rapport with the common people was his language of communication. Unlike most other political leaders who preferred to speak in English or Sanskritised Hindi or other regional languages in highly elitist manner, Gandhiji spoke in simple Hindi or Gujarati. Gandhiji also insisted that other political leaders sharing the podium with him in a public meeting also delivered their speech in their mother tongue. At a public meeting in Gujarat, Gandhiji made Mohammed Ali Jinnah speak in Gujarati though Jinnah was used to speaking only in English. Similarly, he made Surendra Nath Banerjee speaks in Bengali at a public meeting in a village in Bengal. Gandhiji never indulged in demagoguery. He was not a great orator but an effective communicator who spoke in easy to understand language.
