Aristocratic party in India holding heads of Urdu channel (5)
I believe the answer is:
ducal
'aristocratic' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'party in india holding heads of urdu channel' is the wordplay.
'party in india' becomes 'dal' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'holding' is an insertion indicator.
'heads of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'urdu channel' is 'uc'.
'dal' going around 'uc' is 'DUCAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ducal that I've seen before include "of Wellingtons?" , "High-ranking" , "Relating to a duke" , "Relating to a high peer" , "Relating to a nobleman" .)
