Father of Nation ..: Hamara Multan :.. Father of the Nation Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's achievement as the founder of Pakistan, dominates everything else he did in his long and crowded public life spanning some 42 years. In the ultimate analysis, his very presence at the helm of affairs was responsible for enabling the newly born nation to overcome the terrible crisis on the morrow of its cataclysmic birth. What, however, makes him so remarkable is the fact that while similar other leaders assumed the leadership of traditionally well-defined nations and espoused their cause, or led them to freedom, he created a nation out of an inchoate and down-trodden minority and established a cultural and national home for it. www.hamaramultan.com /jinnah.asp   (3875 words)

Talk:Father of the Nation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I protest to having Enver Hoxha as the father of the nation of Albania which at the very least is very POV and I don't think it is even accurate. Calling as divisive a figure as Eric Williams "Father of the Nation" of Trinidad and Tobago is not only an insult to the half of the country that opposed him, it is also not historically realistic, since he came to power by cutting deals with the Colonial Government to avoid a majority government. Seru Epenisa Cakobau also has some claim to be the nation's father, too, as it was he who unified all of Fiji's warring tribes into a single kingdom for the first time (in 1871). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Father_of_the_Nation   (4020 words)

Manas: History and Politics, Mahatma Gandhi The fact that we continue to use the expression, 'Father of the Nation', in a language that is still alien to the vast majority of the people who inhabit India, and which betokens power and dominance, points to the signal triumph of the masculine in the political domain. He is also, in official Indian broadcasts and in official representations of him, 'Father of the Nation', and it is by this designation that a grateful country, or so one presumes, remembers him on his birthday and other solemn occasions. It is in any case transparent that no greater mockery is made of the 'Father of the Nation' and his teachings than by those politicians who, in an annual and totemistic enactment of modern political ritual, lay wreaths at his samadhi every October 2nd. www.sscnet.ucla.edu /southasia/History/Gandhi/GandhiMother.html   (1976 words)

Does Father know best? - On Line Opinion - 22/10/2002 Howard’s refusal to pretend that he takes the electorate into his confidence reflects his confidence in his role as benevolent father of the nation. And the role of the benevolent father, who knew everything and felt no need to explain his actions, was unchallenged, as epitomised in the popular sit-com, Father Knows Best. Whoever replaces Howard as the chief decision-maker in Australia had better acknowledge the limitations of the benevolent patriarch as political leader and let his or her other colleagues, along with the rest of the population, in on what is happening. www.onlineopinion.com.au /view.asp?article=1712   (1003 words)

Father of his nation - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised, because most public Americans seem to take it for granted that anybody like Arafat is a murderer, terrorist and thief; the United Nations is a playground for bandits and the rest of the world are nuisances to be avoided as far as possible. Palestine had been controlled by the Turks until the First World War when the British captured it and ran it as a mandate from the League of Nations.
