Just a short little search on wikipedia and I'm shocked.
Guys, this is "The Lord's Prayer" in Swahili..
So it doesn't really work as a global anthem.. That'd be theocracy, but the way the Swahili translation is worded is an EXTREMELY clever move by Sid... The game uses religion, peace, war, food, and culture.. All of which are present in this prayer.
Even as an atheist, I still can't doubt that some hymns are really catchy.
@Kirbylink3 then how come theres black and white photos of him? mabey its a different Ghandi your thinking of because i checked and Ghandi lived from 1869-1948.
Not liking this song should be the official test for clinical insanity! Best game music ever, and among the best songs I've ever found! One small thing, why can't anyone put the original, from the game, music on- it's the best version (with no tablas, fewer maracas and a shuffle)?
Mahboii, 300 calories a day is what all true warriors strive for!

Am i the only one who wonders why Sid Meier chose Gandhi to be the closest thing to God-Emperor of Mankind, rule through fear and nukes, kind of guy?

Excuse me, but your picture is wrong. Ghandi lived from 4000 BC to about 2100AD

@JohnnyAdvent
Ghandi advocated non-violence to prove his strength. In a position of absolute power I do not think it'd be beneath Ghandi to wage war.
"It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence."

@JohnnyAdvent All I really see from Gandhi is a very influential pacifist. Definitely not a strong, sturdy world leader.
