Gandhi enjoyed more professional success in South Africa, but he was appalled by the racial bigotry and intolerance he found there. He attempted to set up practice in Bombay, but was unsuccessful and shortly relocated to South Africa. In 1891 Gandhi passed the bar and set sail for India. His caste looked upon traveling over the ocean as unclean when he persisted they declared him an 'outcast.' He learned much about England and the English during his time in that country, knowledge which was to prove invaluable later in his career. His father having just died, Gandhi's mother did not want him to go, allowing him only after he had promised to abstain from wine, women, and meat. To this end he decided he would go to England to study. Upon graduating from high school, Gandhi decided to follow his father into state service. Apparently he did not enjoy the experience, later calling the practice 'the cruel custom of child marriage.' He entered into an arranged marriage at the age of 13, the usual custom of the period. The son of the Prime Minister of the small state of Porbandar, in his youth Gandhi displayed none of the brilliance that would mark him as an adult in fact the young man was a mediocre student and quite shy. Mohandas Gandhi was born in an India under British rule. He pioneered 'satyagraha,' or resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, a ploy used to great effect against the British Raj.

Mohandas Gandhi was an Indian patriot who led India's nonviolent independence movement against British Imperial rule in the early to mid-twentieth century. Domination victory will be very unlikely for obvious reasons. Gandhi will normally try to win a cultural victory followed by a scientific or diplomatic victory. While the Indians will tend to have a small army, their cities will be some of the best defended in the game. Gandhi tends to raise a small empire consisting of very populous and well-developed cities. However, Gandhi is also one of the least forgiving leaders, and being a warmonger will cause him to denounce you or even use nuclear weapons against you. In fact, he is one of the few leaders who is more willing to declare friendship with other civilizations and also one of the most loyal allies (befitting his pacifistic nature in real life). It should be noted that in spite of building a lot of nuclear weapons, Gandhi is the leader least likely to declare wars, and is himself not very willing to engage in wars. ) Given the nature of nuclear weapons in real life, however, his preference for nuclear weapons may be a MAD strategy to deter from actual battling. (There is a longstanding rumor that an integer underflow error caused by players adopting Democracy as their government was responsible for this behavior, but Sid Meier denies this in his memoir. This is intended more as a shout-out to the original Civilization than anything else: in this game, the normally peaceful Gandhi started to behave much more aggressively around the time nukes were invented. These are 4 points ahead of the closest leaders ( Catherine, Montezuma, and Shaka with an 8 in both categories), making him hands down the most nuke-happy leader in the game. The biggest thing that stands out about Gandhi is his nuke ratings of 12. So Gandhi's Nuke Production and Use of Nukes will always be 10. * All ratings higher than 10 are rounded down to 10.
