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

'remains of fire i'm returning in anger after setback regarding indic people' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'remains of fire i'm returning in anger after setback' is the wordplay.
'remains of fire' becomes 'ash'.
'returning' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'anger' becomes 'irk' (irking is a kind of angering).
'after setback' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'im' written backwards gives 'mi'.
'irk' backwards is 'kri'.
'ash'+'mi'='ashmi'
'ashmi' put into 'kri' is 'KASHMIRI'.
