Abstract
Father of the subject or a field is a title given to an individual who is known to have given the first new important contribution to that discipline either through invention, discovery or laying down foundational principle that makes them distinct. However, in recent era, it is observed that there is breach in this system and individuals are being blindly or wrongly being labelled to be father’s without having any evidence of innovations/discoveries/foundational principles in that subject. Few individuals, especially in medical field have bizarre reasons and criteria’s attributed to them, for being called Father of the field. This has led to raise in Pseudo-fathers globally and has undermined the contribution of the original Fathers of the subject who have done discoveries or innovations. Disappointingly, many of them who are being called father of the subject, especially in medical field, don’t even have any contribution to the subject, yet they are being propagated as Father’s by their followers or students or association members. This article briefly highlights on criteria’s that makes one the Father of the field and also the disturbing trends.
