I live in England so I'll pass.
He's probably just angry that you Anglicize his name. ;)I have an indian friend Dennis(Dinesh) been friends probably 45 years since youngsters. If I wished him happy Diwali he'd probably to tell me to fuck off. He was born an hindu as his Indian parents were Hindus. I seem to recall he loved beef crisps at school, swore like a trooper joined in like all the other lads. He doesn't give a fuck about bullshit religion because I remember asking him many years ago. Cracking lad is Dennis, only thing i can fault him for is he's a rag.
Seeing as he has accepted it all his life i doubt many if any call him Dinesh.He's probably just angry that you Anglicize his name. ;)
