The letter I in the NATO phonetic alphabet (5)

I believe the answer is:

india

(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "Kiss; quarter of a bushel" , "Eastern region" , "Nation, I (radio comms.)" , "land in the East" , "Populous Asian country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
