Distributing aid in Asian country (5)
I believe the answer is:
india
'asian country' is the definition.
(country in Asia)
'distributing aid in' is the wordplay.
'distributing' is an anagram indicator.
'aid'+'in'='aidin'
'aidin' anagrammed gives 'INDIA'.
(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "In aid, strangely, of the country" , "Bollywood's country" , "Country of the Ganges" , "It was once known as the Jewel in the Crown" , "Asian sub-continent" .)
