Home help sent to the West Country (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

india

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'country' is the definition.
(India is an example)

'home help sent to the west' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'home' could be 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in') and 'in' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'dia' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "Place of Kipling's birth" , "One preceding Juliet" , "vast country" , "In aid, strangely, of the country" , "Large Asian republic" .)
