I believe the answer is:

india

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

'asian country' is the definition.
(India is an example)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "Second most populous country in the world" , "Populous Asian country" , "Code for the letter I" , "Sub-continental country" , "(Part of) subcontinent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
