One should use the proper Sanskrit terms written in the scriptures, which is Karna.

Even in Ramayan, they always call Ram's youngest brother Shatrughan, which is wrong. The proper Sanskrit term is Shatrughna.

Karna got called by that name because of the golden earrings he was born with. Karan means something completely different in Sanskrit.

No matter what language a show is taken in, the original Sanskrit terms should be used, not the regional ones that came much later, because Sanskrit is the mother tongue of all Indian languages, and it was the language in which MB was written.

Just one correction. Sanskrit is not mother tongue of all indian languages. There are 2 major mother language groups Sanskrit and Dravidian.😉. I don't think this is an issue to be worked up about. In my mind i am saying karn just I misspell it in English. Ask me to write karn in punjabi and Hindi I would never make this mistake. It is just the same with other names for example daljeet or daljit, both are considered correct spelling of the, same name.

@bold I just resisted myself from picking this up when said earlier.. 😉

Namakaran is wrong.. it is Namakarana.. Karan's meaning can not be picked up from here for this reason..

What I don't understand in this discussion is that, if Karn is ok, why not Karan? both don't have a meaning in Sanskrit.. If we take the exact pronunciation in Sanskrit, 'Karna' is the only right way.. Karn is as wrong as Karan... Karan is as right as Karn.

No, actually, Karna's real name was Vasusena. Karna means 'cutter/peeler of one's own cover' and he only got that name after he donated his kavacha & kundalas to Indra.

Karna is in Sanskrit & may by Karan is apbrhash of it. It's happened with many words. If originally it's Karna then Karna should be used, as one connects better with the original word. Though it's just a simple name.

Being particular about language & pronunciation is necessary. I wish the makers pay more attention on it in the show. Manushya, Jyeshtha is pronunced as Manusya, Jyesth. It sounds funny. So Karan instead of Karna should be avoided, IMO. Rest is upto the writer. 😆

There is no "Dravidian" group.

If you are referring to the languages spoken south of the Vindhyas, then Kannada and Telugu are more related to Sanskrit than anything else.

Tamil has a separate and distinct identity. An older version called "grantham" is said to have existed- but Tamil was always a complete language on its own- it didn't evolve from any "dravidian" source.

May be you are correct. A lot of theories have changed since I studied history and languages and I have been unable to keep up with all. I remember watching some tv program regarding this topic on pbs in the u.s.a. So my apologies if my info is incorrect. But like I said before this is just a mistake of trying to use Roman alphabet. In punjabi or Hindi alphabet it is spelled the way it is pronounced. There are no a matra after k or r. It is just krn.
