Look at it from another angle. Many people of the country are starving, yet the country already acts as a Supapowa and bullies everyone in the neighborhood. How will India behave when it is a lot more powerful?

Humane approach is China can help Indians by inviting South Indians, East Indians and other marginalized ethnic groups within India for proper education within China, then support them with funds and arms so that they can achieve independence from India in a peaceful and bloodless manner.
This is what their civilians are posting and commenting on internet. They would literally commit genocide if they could.
Sikh and people of Kashmir & Assam have tried to separate from India for how many years?
Whatever China can do is a second order effect. The primary determinant of India's fate - and why that fate is so grim - is India itself. If India was a reasonable sort of country, go along to get along, etc. like China was when it was coming up, the moral argument would hold more weight - in that case China would just be a belligerent aggressor. India made that a moot point with its abhorrent ideology and behavior. If this is how it acts when it's poor and weak, how do you think it would be if (Heaven forbid) it ever became wealthy and strong?
Last but not least, geopolitics is a dirty and ugly business. The right play is often to hamstring a potential competitor no matter how congenial they are.
If splitting India apart in a bloodless manner were possible I would wholeheartedly support it. The point isn't to inflict unnecessary pain, it's to render India into a non-factor.

India is a failed multiethnic state with deep internal divisions. In order to channel the intense internal hate between different ethnic groups within India, the ruling BJP needs to rechannel that hatred towards external groups via a pseudo-historical quasi-mythical artificially manufactured fanatic ideology that is Hinduvta nationalism. Otherwise, Indians would devolve back into attempting ethnic cleansing against one another (remember the horrors happening in East India last summer?). The only humane and long term solution is to divide India among ethnic and historical boundaries into multiple smaller and more stable states.
I don't get how Jai Hinds are so confident India will last. Look at Yugoslavia. I'm sure some nationalists pretty confident back then. Yet look how fast it fell apart where everyone kind of accepted it was a bad idea from the start.
Because the Indian tolerance for misery and shithole dwelling is the highest in humans. Simultaneously, the Indian capacity for delusion and self assurance in the face of inconvenient realities and truths is also unmatched by the rest of humanity.
These attributes in combination ensure Indian state remaining as is regardless of how bad it gets.
Yugoslavia broke apart because the US and European spent considerable amount of effort to do so. India is too big and the central government is too strong for that to happen.
