Indian sage (7)
I believe the answer is:
mahatma
'indian sage' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for mahatma that I've seen before include "Holy man" , "Great Soul, as Gandhi was called" , "Gandhi's title" , "Asian holy person or sage." , "Sage (as e.g. Gandhi)" .)
