Leader who wrote "The Discovery of India" (5)
I believe the answer is:
nehru
'leader who wrote the discovery of india' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for nehru that I've seen before include "First Indian prime minister, 1947-64" , "Former Indian leader" , "former statesman" , "First prime minister of India" , "Pandit . . . . ., former Indian Prime Minister" .)
