i was born in india and i have a bit of dislike for the unnecessary A's that get put behind words. Karma, Rama etc. In Hindi, there are full-emphasis letters and half-emphasis ones. The full-emphasis ones end with kind of an "uh" sound at the end. They get translated as an "aa" sound in english. so it's pronounced more like "karm-uh" and "ram-uh." I'm not a philologist or a linguist so this is the best way i can describe it.
