Jul 12, 2018 at 10:50 comment added BillJ Yes, but they are not adjectives, since nouns and adjectives belong to different word classes (parts of speech). But proper nouns can be used as modifiers, for example "a United States warship"; "a Dell computer"; "a Beethoven symphony", "the United Kingdom elections. Your examples are fine too, though we would normally say "Indian elections", where "Indian" is an adjective.

Jul 12, 2018 at 9:35 comment added Omegastick This is an interesting question. It's obviously fine to use India here rather than Indian, but I can't place exactly why.
