End of a novel passage (5)
I believe the answer is:
india
'end of a novel passage' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "(Part of) subcontinent" , "South Asian republic" , "Second most populous country in the world" , "Country; I (radio alphabet)" , "New Delhi is its capital" .)
