Faith shown by Indian leader in Delhi (5)
I believe the answer is:
creed
'faith' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'shown by indian leader in delhi' is the wordplay.
'shown by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'indian' becomes 'cree' (Cree is an example).
'leader in' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'delhi' is 'd'.
'cree' put next to 'd' is 'CREED'.
(Other definitions for creed that I've seen before include "teleprinter" , "Articles of faith" , "Summary of articles of religious belief" , "Church doctrine" , "System of religious principles" .)
