It is unlikely Darren Ganga is a modification of Gangadharan. It is simply a combination of Christian firstname + Indian surname. Like Alvin Kallicharan.
And Jaggarnauth is an Indian name spelt with English-like phonetics which would be common in West Indies. Like "Chanderpaul" for Chandarpal. Similarly, in Pondicherry, some old residents have their names spelt with French-like phonetics.
...have significant Indian migrant population.
True.
