Indians, haha :)) are just jokes, seeing them pretend to be smart and wasting tons of money, not spending on construction or into R&D (0.6% for the past 20 yrs, compare to 2.1% of China), but all wasted in so called "defense".

Open your google map, in war, China only need to secure 500 km sea route from Muscat to Gwadar Port, with this short distance, not difficult at all for PLAN, and at the same time this action will completely cut off India's vital shipping route from Iran and Middle east, then what the use of your bases on  Andaman and Nicobar islands???
