'is outraged' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'when india accepts limits on grain northern territory' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'india' could be 'ind' (abbreviation) and 'ind' is present in the answer.
'northern' could be 'n' (abbreviation e.g. N. Ireland) and 'n' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
