Gandhi perhaps behind intrinsic trust? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hindu

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'gandhi' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'behind intrinsic trust?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'perhaps' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hindu that I've seen before include "Follower of India's main religion" , "Adherent to dominant religion of India" , "Adherent of an Asian religion" , "Follower of a major religion of the Indian subcontinent" , "Devotee of Indian religion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
