Welcome account — one saying little about India (7)
I believe the answer is:
acclaim
'welcome' is the definition.
(welcome can mean to acclaim or praise)
'account one saying little about india' is the wordplay.
'account' becomes 'ac' (abbreviation for account).
'one saying little' becomes 'clam' (clam can figuratively mean a shy person).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'clam' enclosing 'i' is 'claim'.
'ac'+'claim'='ACCLAIM'
(Other definitions for acclaim that I've seen before include "Credit" , "Plaudits" , "Hail" , "Enthusiastic and public praise" , "Welcome enthusiastically" .)
