He believes he comes from behind us (5)

I believe the answer is:

hindu

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

'he believes he' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'from behind us' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'HINDU' can be found hidden inside 'behind us'.

'comes' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
