Home help raised in Asian country (5)
I believe the answer is:
india
'asian country' is the definition.
(country in Asia)
'home help raised' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'help' becomes 'aid' (synonyms).
'raised' says the letters should be written backwards (going up in a down clue).
'aid' in reverse letter order is 'dia'.
'in'+'dia'='INDIA'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "Country of Gandhi" , "Territory" , "home to her Mumbai family" , "South Asian republic" , "Eastern region" .)
