There are lots of Indian astronomers/physicists/mathematicians. They seem to be very, very good at this stuff.

Indian/Ceylon names are easy really, its just that they have more syllables than we are used to.

WIK - RA - MA - SING - HE (short “E”)

If you are into astronomy, etc., you will also have to manage Chandrasekhar (”On Stellar Evolution”, and a Nobel prize) -

CHAN - DRA - SEK - HAR
