"With India" means that you have the current WX (metars) and airport Notams updates. The letter will change with each new revision or update so that you know if you have the most current. The next one after india would be information juliet.

"with ____" (some letter of the phonetic alphabet) is a way for the pilot to indicate to ATC the most recent ATIS (automatic terminal information service) they've received. ATIS contains weather information usually, as well as any other important information.

Most major airports broadcast an Automated Terminal Information System (ATIS) which is a pre-recorded message that provides current weather conditions and active runway information. Pilots listen to this because it saves time and workload of having controllers repeat the same information over and over to each aircraft. The ATIS broadcast is obviously updated fairly frequently so that it stays current, and it's identified by the alphabet. If the first ATIS of the day is "a", or "alpha", when it's updated it will be "b" or "bravo", then "charlie", "delta", etc., until it rolls over back to alpha. When a pilot contacts ATC and says his callsign "with India", he's telling the controller that he's listened to the "India" ATIS broadcast, so the controller knows he's been advised of weather and any special conditions. If the controller responds "Juliette is current", it means the ATIS message has been updated since the pilot listened to it, and he should listen to the updated broadcast.

With (insert a letter from the ICAO phonetic alphabet here) means that the aircraft checking in has received that version of the ATIS (Automated Terminal Information System) broadcast. This is to prevent approach and/or the tower from repeating tons of redundant (but important for flight safety) information to every aircraft that checks in on frequency...If, for example, an aircraft checks in with ATIS information India, and the tower has just updaed the ATIS recording to information Juliet, then the controller that the flight checks in with would be required to give that flight the information in the Juliet ATIS recording.
Normally, ATIS recordings are updated every hour, unless there are significant changes (fronts blowing through, rapidly changing weather, rapid barometric pressure changes, etc.).
Edit: D'oh! J comes after I (not K).

Ahh so basically it's just like an identifying code that "india" is the ATIS advisory the pilot listened and the ATC can advise the crew if that is the latest ATIS advisory.
Wow, you guys beat Google! I was trying to google it up too but I know I can always get help here on A.Net when it comes to aviation stuff.

It means that they have the ATIS for the airport that they're landing at. ATIS broadcasts are changed hourly (except in the case of rapidly changing weather), and each is assigned a letter of the phonetic alphabet. If a pilot calls up and gives the correct letter, ATC knows that the pilot has the most up-to-date information. If the pilot gives an out-of-date letter, ATC can tell them to get the more recent information. The letter cycles every hour, so after India would come Juliet, and then Kilo, and so on.

An example would be "LaGuardia ground, bluestreak **** at spot 24 ready to taxi and we have india". This is the controllers que that the pilot has the up to date conditions of the field pertenant to safe operation of the airplane. Alot of times when the information changes and you ahve already been issued a clearnce the controller will call and say to aircraft on frequenct tht new information is juliet which is the pilots que to go back over and check ATIS once more for furthur update.
There is plenty of room for Gods animals, right next to the mashed potatoes!

Quoting N710PS (Reply 9): the controller will call and say to aircraft on frequenct tht new information is juliet which is the pilots que to go back over and check ATIS once more for furthur update.
Which usually sounds something like "Attention all aircraft, information Juliet is now current..."

Quoting Ktachiya (Reply 13): I know your question was with the current information but India is also a designated taxi route (Indicated by the letter I).
Just for your quick information, I'll just list it right here:
These are not specific to ATIS or Taxiways. These are standard phonetic alphabets on the radio. Using these instead of spelling the actual alphabets removes any confusions between B & D or anything that may sound similar on radio. This makes the transmissions clearer and reduces the need for repeating instructions.
