Father of the Nation in infobox   I dont want to start an edit war so to reply to your last comment the title wasnt given by a government since the government wasnt even formed yet It was given by his fellow Mohammedzai loyalists who had influence over Karzai There was no vote on this it was just proceeded by his loyalists and family and everyone sort of went on with you This title didnt have a function for him other than providing him with a luxurious life in Kabul from the money provided by Western countries to the people of Afghanistan But main point is that it was not given to him by a republican government a real government was at that time
