Hint: During Gandhian era, Gandhi gave the Indian National Congress the final word in negotiations with the British government for constitutional reforms and the development of a national movement programme.He was the architect of India as we know it today.

Complete answer:
Mahatma Gandhi is considered as the Father of the Nation since he was the one who secured our freedom.
Let us look at the given options.
A) He was universally adored, admired and respected by all castes, communities and classes: Gandhi's simplicity and love for humanity brought him closer to ordinary people. Millions of Indians loved him, and he was respected by everybody. He emphasised the abolition of untouchability, the promotion of Hindu-Muslim unity, literacy, and the development of India as a great nation. Thus,option A is incorrect.

B) Starting with opposition to the Rowlatt Acts, till the Quit India Movement he was the supreme leader and the main spirit behind the national movement: Gandhi was the most powerful figure on the political stage, wielding a level of power that no other Indian or foreign leader had ever possessed.Under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian National Congress began a series of nonviolent civil disobedience initiatives.He was the ultimate leader and the driving force behind the national movement, from his opposition to the Rowlatt Acts to the Quit India Movement. Thus,option B is incorrect.

C) His social political, economic and religious ideologies were based on Indian values with a very strong moral and ethical content: Gandhian ideology is not only political, moral, and religious at the same time; it is also old and modern, simple and deep. It embodies a variety of Western ideas that Gandhiji was exposed to, yet it is based on ancient Indian culture that harnesses universal moral and religious concepts. Thus,option C is incorrect.

D) He was the founder President of the Indian National Congress: Gandhiji was not one of the Indian National Congress's founding presidents.As a result, this isn't one of the reasons Mahatma Gandhi is regarded as the father of the nation.Thus,option D is the correct answer.

Thus,the correct answer is option ‘D’. That is,he was the founder President of the Indian National Congress.

Note: Gandhiji worked for the benefit of the oppressed, and he preached nonviolent methods of achieving swaraj. Gandhi ji was given the title of 'Father of the Nation' by Subhash Chandra Bose.He preached and practised exclusively Ahimsa, or nonviolence, throughout the liberation movement.
