Captain Nemo somehow inspiring India’s liberation (12)

I believe the answer is:

emancipation

'liberation' is the definition.
(emancipation is a kind of liberation)

'captain nemo somehow inspiring india's' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'inspiring' indicates putting letters inside.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'captain'+'nemo'='captainnemo'
'captainnemo' is an anagram of 'emancipaton'.
'emancipaton' enclosing 'i' is 'EMANCIPATION'.

(Another definition for emancipation that I've seen is " release".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
