I help vacuous neo-Nazi to change ways (5)

I believe the answer is:

india

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

'i' is the definition.
(India is I in the NATO phonetic alphabet)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "Queen Victoria considered it the Jewel in the Crown" , "land in the East" , ""Bharat", locally" , "where to ring for help?" , "vast country" .)
