Version of the Talmud in a state of India (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
tamil nadu
'state of india' is the definition.
'Tamil Nadu' can be an answer for 'state' (Indian state). I am not sure about the 'of india' bit.
'version of the talmud in a' is the wordplay.
'version of' indicates anagramming the letters (another version of the same letters).
'talmud'+'in'+'a'='talmudina'
'talmudina' anagrammed gives 'TAMIL NADU'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tamil nadu that I've seen before include "Southern state of India" , "state bordering Kerala" , "Southern Indian state" .)
