Asian bar puts up ad inside with yours truly (6)

I believe the answer is:

indian

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

'asian' is the definition.
(Indian is an example)

'puts up ad inside with yours truly' is the wordplay.
'puts' becomes 'inn' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'up' indicates anagramming the letters (letters get chucked up).
'inside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'yours truly' becomes 'I' (the person who set this crossword).
'ad' is an anagram of 'da'.
'inn' enclosing 'da' is 'indan'.
'indan' placed around 'i' is 'INDIAN'.

'bar' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for indian that I've seen before include "IDA inn provided for this notionality" , "Native American or denizen of New Delhi, say" , "One type of elephant" , "One from the sub-continent" , "IDA inn provides for this nationally" .)
