It's normal for India to station 300000 or so troops in the eastern theatre, they are around Bangladesh because there isn't anywhere else to station them. I think there focus is the indo China border area primarily, they will be moved to areas like Bhutan and Sikkim and arunchal pardesh in the event of a Chinese invasion.
Most are or will be in WB and Assam, the problem, will arise when they have to quickly reinforce either side of the chickens neck. Getting say 150000 to 200000 through that narrow strip of land quickly is bad enough in the best of times, imagine doing that with Chinese forces sabotaging the links?
Anyway it's there problem, we have a strong enough force to defend our lands and that's what maters, and it's getting bigger each year, over 300000 active standing army now and possibly 450000 or more in the next 2 decades, all with much better equipment.
