Partisan stationed around India (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

biased

'partisan' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'stationed around india' is the wordplay.
'stationed' becomes 'based' ('base' can be a synonym of 'station').
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'based' enclosing 'i' is 'BIASED'.

(Other definitions for biased that I've seen before include "Having prejudice" , "not fair" , "favouring a particular idea" , "Prejudiced or partisan" , "Prejudiced or influenced in favour or against" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
