Abstract
Bias is an opinion or feeling that strongly favours one side in an argument or one thing in a group, sometimes unfairly. It is the leaning of the mind towards a particular thing. It is any special influence that sways the mind. It is to cause prejudice in a person. Its tendency is not always bonafide. It is an action towards or in favour of or against somebody or something with bad or malafide intention. As such a biased person is hated by all. Also it is to influence somebody, especially unfairly, so that they have a bias. It’s a turning away from a straight line. It is a slanting line. Thus bias is neither straight nor it is straight cut nor strait forward rather it discloses its true identity in a diagonal manner or obliquely. It is partiality, predisposition or bent. A biased character is just like an unwilling horse. He is an orthodox. He is conservative as well. Biased student life, having inattention towards studies, is a hindrance towards success.
