History

[edit]

This song was originally written for the un-made 1970s play, "The Ballad of John and Yoko".[3] "India, India" was one of two previously unreleased songs issued on the John Lennon Signature Box in 2010 (the other was "One of the Boys"). The song was inspired by The Beatles' stay in India in 1968.[4]
