Pronunciation advice - Dr. Chandrashekhar Kambar

The Jnanpith Award for 2009 has just been announced. It goes to the noted KannaDa poet, playwright and film director Dr Chandrashekhar Kambar. His name is pronounced as chun-the-ruh-shaker cum-bar or चन्द्रशेखर कम्बार. You want to be more accurate then you could add a schwa at the end of both the name and the surname. Hence चन्द्रशेखरअ कम्बारअ. In KannaDa it would read as ಚಂದ್ರಶೇಖರ ಕಂಬಾರ.
