Submits reports about India (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

posits

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

'submits' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'reports about india' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'india' could be 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'i' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'posts' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for posits that I've seen before include "submits" , "Assumes as fact - is post involved?" , "Suggests, postulate" .)
