Party in charge in Asian country after uprising (6)
I believe the answer is:
social
'party' is the definition.
(social can mean a party or event)
'in charge in asian country after uprising' is the wordplay.
'in charge' becomes 'ic' (abbreviation for 'in charge').
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'asian country' becomes 'laos' (country in Asia).
'after uprising' says the letters should be written in reverse (in a down clue, letters go up).
'ic' put inside 'laos' is 'laicos'.
'laicos' backwards is 'SOCIAL'.
(Other definitions for social that I've seen before include "Convivial - party" , "Relating to humans living together in large groups" , "Public servant caring for the underprivileged" , "Relating to people living in groups" , "Living in a community, not solitary" .)
