Historically and ethically, Swami Dayanand Saraswati deserves the place of Rashtrapita because he was the first national figure who spoke, wrote and sermoned for the freedom of India in 1876.
Because of his writings, preachings and reforms, there were born revolutionaries who were responsible for attaining the Freedom of India. Mahatma Gandhi came much later on the map of the Struggle for India's freedom. He had only reaped what Dayanand had sown for the struggle. Seven years before Gandhi was even born, Dayanand spoke and had preached for Swarajya i.e. Self governance in his writings and preachings. Gandhi followed the movements started by Dayanand of Untouchability, Social evils, Women's education, Adoption of Swadeshi or Hindi as National language etc. etc. and for some political compulsions of the era he was declared Rashtrapita.
In that chronology Swami Dayanand is regarded as Rashtrapitamah (Grandfather of the Nation)

Who is regarded greater in Indian History Swami Dayanand or Swami Vivekanand?
Both Swami Dayanand Saraswati and Swami Vivekanand have a great place in the Indian rather World History in the fields of spirituality and philosophy. While Swami Dayanand (1824-1883) was a Revolutionary Reformer and a Vedic Sanskrit Scholar, Swami Vivekanand was a disciple of Ramakrishna who appeared on the Indian scene much later (1863-1902), was a philosopher who spoke for Hinduism and worked for infusing energy into the youth of India. Dayanand had sown the seeds for the Indian freedom (Swarajya) in 1876 which were furthered by Naroaji, Tilak, Gandhi and millions of freedom fighters and revolutionaries by their sacrifices. And as such viewed from historical angles and the contribution to the Nation, Swami Dayanand is regarded as senior or greater and is regarded as Rashpitamah.
