Partisan stationed around India (6)
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" .)
