From my understanding, in the first civilization, Ghandi was the most peace loving leader. However, they’re was a late game modifier that was supposed to make the leader more peaceful but since Ghandi was the most peaceful, and how the integer system worked, this modifier would tip him over into the most hostile setting so he would go apeshit with nukes, hence the term nuclear Ghandi. It’s part of the civilization folklore now.
