Tent fire disturbed India’s ancient queen (9)
I believe the answer is:
nefertiti
'ancient queen' is the definition.
(Egyptian queen)
'tent fire disturbed india's' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates anagramming the letters (the order of letters is disturbed).
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'tent'+'fire'='tentfire'
'tentfire' is an anagram of 'nefertit'.
'nefertit'+'i'='NEFERTITI'
(Other definitions for nefertiti that I've seen before include "old queen" , "Beautiful queen who ruled Egypt with the Pharaoh" , "African Queen" , "Name of queen" , "Oddly, the Egyptian queen is an entire fit" .)
