I always thought its just the South Indian names that the anchors on mainstream news channels cannot pronounce properly.
Only to be proven wrong.
Today I was witness to 'Chandrayaan' being pronounced 'Chandraayan' (like a Narayan) which actually changes the very meaning of the word.
After a little thought, I kind-of figured out the best way to make the anchors pronounce names right. They should have been told that 'Chandrayaan' was a Polish word which means they would have never taken its pronunciation for granted as they usually do with Indian names and would find out the right way to say it.
I guess it does make sense to have a Indian language specialist in-house like they have voice trainers and voice coaches within their organisations to help people know Indian sounds better.
