Mahatma Gandhi leads India in Civilization VI
August 31, in the year of our Lord 2016 --
2K and Firaxis Games today revealed Mahatma Gandhi will lead
India in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, launching on Oct 21st for
Windows PC.
Returning to lead India in Civilization VI is the beloved
Mahatma Gandhi. Born in British-ruled India, Gandhi was famed
for his courageous passive movements towards alleviating
poverty, increasing women’s rights, promoting harmony and, most
prominently, obtaining India’s independence.
Gandhi led the campaign for India’s independence from British
rule through a specific philosophy of nonviolent resistance
called Satyagraha. Some of his movements included the famed Salt
March, multiple hunger strikes and more, which often led to long
stints in prison and harm to himself.
Gandhi also worked to unite Hindus and Muslims in the country,
which drew the attention of many would-be assassins. After five
failed attempts on his life, Gandhi was assassinated on January
30, 1948, leaving a nation and world in mourning. As the
preeminent nonviolent activist, Gandhi’s influence changed the
course of human history, setting the stage for leaders such as
Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela who drew from his
inspiring nonviolent philosophies for change.
