You need to get the Indian embassy to send a letter that they can't/won't change your passport or get them to change your current passport.

OP is now British, so by Indian law, no longer Indian. Not sure OP would get any response to that effect as it's no longer their business.

So you should get an official letter from them that confirms they won't do it, that should be enough for HMPO.

As this is a recurrent issue with Indian citizens (name structure + passport surrender to obtain BC), you might wish to consult fellow Indians on how they navigated this process.
I think this has been discussed here before perhaps in the international sub-forum... or in other forums.

You should ask this in the Other countries forum as other Indian citizens will have gone through this. It is a matter of how to correct the Indian passport (or demonstrate it is not possible for you to obtain a new Indian passport).
