Two consecutive characters, one resisting leader (6)
I believe the answer is:
gandhi
'leader' is the definition.
(I know that Gandhi is a spiritual leader)
'two consecutive characters one resisting' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gandhi that I've seen before include "Indian activist" , "who played leading role in getting England out" , "Old Indian leader" , "Indian leader, Indira, assassinated 1984" , "film epic" .)
