Did Gandhi ever get a formal title of 'Father of the Nation'? Know the story behind the phrase

Mahatma Gandhi, widely known as the "Father of the Nation", was actually never formally conferred this title by the Indian government. There is no law, government resolution, or constitutional order that officially recognises him as such. This has been confirmed through multiple Right to Information (RTI) queries, including one filed by a 10-year-old student, which revealed that no official record exists granting Gandhi this designation. https://ift.tt/EzhOFQa
