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.

In terms of articulation, affricates involve a brief stoppage of airflow followed by a slow release into a fricative sound, while fricatives involve a continuous airflow through a narrow constriction in the vocal tract.
