I've put in a lot of hours into the game. Does playing in India add anything interesting enough to overcome the unpronounceable names?
I love playing in India. The ease at which you can switch between religion makes for more varied gameplay than you find in the west--spend a few generations as Hindu pirates raiding the Islamic lands by ship, and once you're good and wealthy switch to Jain for a stable and peaceful realm, that sort of thing. Jains/Buddhists also have access to my favorite succession law in the game with their heir-designation ability.
Playing in India is fun even if you are a Muslim or Christian, since many of the events apply just due to having your capital in the subcontinent (tiger hunts, rampaging elephants, that sort of thing). So if the names bug you, you can always carve out an Indian kingdom as a Turk or Persian (or maybe a Norseman).
