Political Bias Classification for Indian Context

Abstract: In the contemporary world no society in any country has a single ideology, especially in a democratic country like India. As any other country, we also have right-wing which enforces nationalism, conservatism and left-wing which is based on liberalism. Also, due to the growth of the Internet, social media has emerged as a great platform for people to express their opinions. Twitter has become a de facto standard platform for political based conversations. There are large numbers of tweets that are posted on twitter daily, most of them are biased towards right-wing or left-wing and the news reports from most of the media are also biased. In this paper we will present a machine learning model which can predict the bias in any given document for Indian context.  

Keywords: Political-Bias, Right-Wing, Left-Wing, Centre, Twitter.
