The title "Father of the Nation" is sometimes politically contested. The 1972 [[Constitution of Bangladesh]] declared [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]] to be "father of the nation".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/country_profiles/1160598.stm|title=Country profile: Bangladesh |work=BBC News|access-date=2008-11-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081111022801/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/country_profiles/1160598.stm |archive-date=2021-11-27}}</ref> A motion in the [[National Council of the Slovak Republic|Parliament of Slovakia]] to proclaim controversial pre-war leader [[Andrej Hlinka]] "father of the nation" barely failed in September 2007.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.spectator.sk/articles/view/30240/14/2007_was_turbulent_for_the_ruling_coalition.html|title=2007 was turbulent for the ruling coalition|last=Balogová|first=Beata|date=2007-12-17|work=The Slovak Spectator|access-date=2008-11-09|archive-date=26 June 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080626000451/http://www.spectator.sk/articles/view/30240/14/2007_was_turbulent_for_the_ruling_coalition.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
The tile "Father of the nation" is sometimes used for [[Mahatma Gandhi|Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi]] in India but Part III, Article 18 of the [[Constitution of India|Indian Constitution]] prohibits conferring titles other than military and academic distinctions by the State.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Part III, Article 18 of Indian Constitution |url=https://www.mea.gov.in/Images/pdf1/Part3.pdf}}</ref> Therefore, India officially doesn't have any father of the nation. Part I, Article 1 of the Indian Constitution say, ‘''India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States''’, thereby recognizing the present [[Indian state|India]] as a successor of the civilizational state of [[Bharata Khanda|ancient Bharat/Bharata/Bharatam]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Article 1: Name and Territory of the Union |url=https://www.constitutionofindia.net/articles/article-1-name-and-territory-of-the-union/ |access-date=2023-07-26 |website=Constitution of India |language=en-US}}</ref>
