Gandhi wanting resistance here? (5)
I believe the answer is:
india
'here?' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'gandhi wanting resistance' is the wordplay.
'gandhi' becomes 'indira' (I've seen this before).
'wanting' indicates named letters should be taken away (to want something can mean to lack it or need it).
'resistance' becomes 'r' (electronics abbreviation).
'indira' with 'r' removed is 'INDIA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "In aid, strangely, of the country" , "Country in South Asia" , "Bollywood's country" , "It was once known as the Jewel in the Crown" , "Type of paper, rubber etc" .)
