Why do Desis have difficulty pronouncing a 'v' or 'w'?
Standard Hindi and most other vernaculars do not differentiate between /v/ (voiced labiodental fricative) and /w/ (voiced labiovelar approximant). Instead, most Indians use a frictionless labio-dental approximant for words with either sound. So wine is pronounced like vine.

How do you pronounce gamma?
The sound of the letter is a voiced velar fricative; if you can speak any language which uses the voiceless velar fricative (Scots [Loch], Japanese [Baka], German [Kuchen, Acht], etc.), you'll be able to find the sound fairly easy to say. You can make this sound by saying the voiceless velar fricative without rolling it, and then activate your vocal chords while doing this, turning it into the voiced velar fricative. If you speak a language which doesn't use the Voiceless velar fricative (English, French, etc.), it would probably be easier to learn the voiceless velar fricative and use the above tip to learn the voiced velar fricative.The actual word Gamma is properly pronounced ɣɑːmɑː (using IPA). This can be written using the plain latin alphabet as "Γa-Ma", where the Γ represents the voiced velar fricative that's explained above.

What does fricative mean?
This is a word that is used in speech, speech therapy, and possibly in some branches of linguistics and related studies. It refers to consonant sounds in speech that are created by airflow itself, and sometimes without the involvement of the vocal cords. Say the word 'fifty'. while pronouncing the f's, you are making sound by forcing air through the opening created by your lower lip and upper teeth. The letter s is another kind of fricative; it is called sibilant. See the link for a lot more information. A fricative is the sound of some consonants produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by articulators that have come closer.
