Asian from India pursuing desire to throttle setter (6)
I believe the answer is:
yemeni
'asian' is the definition.
(person from Yemen)
'india pursuing desire to throttle setter' is the wordplay.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'pursuing' says to put letters next to each other.
'desire' becomes 'yen' (yen is a kind of desire).
'to throttle' is an insertion indicator (throttle can mean to strangle or smother).
'setter' becomes 'me' (the setter of the clue).
'yen' going around 'me' is 'yemen'.
'i' put after 'yemen' is 'YEMENI'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for yemeni that I've seen before include "Arab national" , "Relating to a republic on the Arabian Peninsula" , "Native of, eg, Aden" , "From a country in the Arabian peninsula, capital Sana'a" , "Eg, native of Sana'a" .)
