Yes, I am in full agreement with you, Vinay ji. I have taken the approach of maintaining the spelling (of transliterated names in English) as provided in the source articles; and willing to correct them as to how a native would spell the transliterated name in English. All said, though I would like the names in native script OR transliterated names in English, accurately spelled, it is better to settle at a lenient level, owing to so many dialects of language. The natives, too, pronounce the name in their own colloquial fashion, thus the name itself has many variants, giving rise to many spellings.
Thank you very much Vinay ji for the clarification. Your thoughts are always welcome. Regards.
