Turmoil when duke meets divine being in India (5)
I believe the answer is:
drama
'divine being in india' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'turmoil when duke meets' is the wordplay.
'turmoil when' becomes 'rama' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'duke' becomes 'd' (abbreviation).
'meets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'rama' put after 'd' is 'DRAMA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drama that I've seen before include "Plays as branch of literature" , "Stage play - turmoil" , "Emotional situation" , "Work to be performed by actors" , "Play - big emotional scene" .)
