Gandhi (Civ6)

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948), better known by the honorific Mahatma (meaning "great soul"), was an Indian lawyer and activist. As the ideological leader of the Indian independence movement, he is widely considered the symbolic father of modern India. He leads the Indians in Civilization VI.
Gandhi is the ultimate peacekeeping civilization, never declaring war unless he's regaining lost ground. He's growing big cities and hoping no one wants to fight him.
== Intro ==
 Be kind, Gandhi Bapu, and you will find yourself surrounded by true friends. Keep the Indian people safe, guarding them with magnificent elephant warriors. Your faith will guide you to peace and harmony. Keep your mind open, and be the change you want to see in the world.
== In-Game ==
Gandhi's unique agenda is Peacekeeper. He will resist starting or getting involved in wars if he might be branded a warmonger for doing so; he likes other leaders that keep the peace and dislikes warmongers.
His leader ability is Satyagraha. For each civilization India has met who has founded a religion and is not at war, India gets a significant boost in . Civilizations fighting wars against India suffer additional penalties.
== Detailed Approach ==
Gandhi is an early Religion adopter, building Holy Sites, putting Stepwells next to them, and getting strong generation going (which becomes even stronger if he can stay at peace). But he isn't an exclusive Religion player; he'll actually never build Inquisitors, so other Religions can stick around (and reward him with their Follower Beliefs). If he doesn't have a chance to win a Religious Victory, he will try to pursue either the Science or Culture Victories, wherever his chance of victory is best.
== Lines ==
Gandhi is voiced by Pawan Shukla. He speaks and . His lines are some of the best translated in the game, where there is no difference between the literal translation of the words he is speaking and the in-game subtitles.

Agenda-based Approval 	 	There is no shame in deterrence. Having a weapon is very different from actually using it.	
Agenda-based Disapproval	If you are so bloodthirsty, maybe it is better to put an end to your leadership. 	यदि आप ख़ून के इतने प्यासे हैं, तो आप के नेतृत्व को समाप्त करना ही बेहतर होगा।

* Gandhi appears in the Civilization VI announcement trailer.
* Gandhi is, along with Alexander, Elizabeth I, Genghis Khan, Montezuma, and Shaka, one of six leaders to have appeared in every Civilization game to date.
* Gandhi's diplomacy screen shows a Hindu shrine on the banks of the Ganges.
* Gandhi's leader ability and agenda both reference his self-named style of nonviolent civil resistance.
* In Civilization V, Gandhi spawned jokes within the Civilization community for being the leader most likely to build and use nuclear weapons. This was incorporated into Civilization VI as a hidden agenda called "Nuke Happy," which Gandhi has a 70% chance of having.
