Your root is a Resource that doesn't have any content in it. Try putting
the File resource at the top level:

   root = File("/home/dhaivat/")

I tried this first with File("/tmp/index.html"), which didn't work.
Giving it the directory instead of the file did work, and it even
recognized index.html.
