Sharks are there, but the East Coast of India is treacherous for swimming thanks to a very steep slope just off the coast and very dangerous currents, so really, nobody swims here unless you hire a fishing boat and go a couple of kilometres out to sea, which has its own dangers. The West Coast is the exact opposite - peaceful, calm and fairly shallow for a fair bit out to sea.
