If you're using Goessner JSONPath, $.Books.History[?(@.Tags.indexOf('Indian') != -1)] as mentioned by Duncan above should work.

If you're using the Jayway Java port (github.com/jayway/JsonPath), then $.Books.History[?(@.Tags[?(@ == 'Indian')] != [])] or more elegantly, use the in operator like this $.Books.History[?('Indian' in @.Tags)]. Tried them both here.
