Fan of Independence Day in good article by Hello! (6)
I believe the answer is:
gandhi
'fan of independence' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'day in good article by hello' is the wordplay.
'day' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for day).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'article by' becomes 'an' (English indefinite article. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'hello' becomes 'hi' (synonyms).
'g'+'an'+'hi'='ganhi'
'd' put within 'ganhi' is 'GANDHI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gandhi that I've seen before include "who played leading role in getting England out" , "Pacifist leader during India's struggle for independence" , "Indian spinner" , "Peaceful protester" , "Indian political and spiritual leader, assassinated 1948" .)
