The reason is simple the people are there because there is a lot of food and agricultural land there so all the farmers are settled there. The credit of this goes to the rich waters and soil of the region.
Plus due to the ganga and Yamuna doab other occupation such as fishing, tourism ect are largely practiced .
Ofc where survival is easy ppl tend to be over there.
Another reason is that that area has a high Muslim population.
Also ppl have been living and migrating there for ages . as many conquer have captured that area . and each conquer gets different sets of ppl with him and they all settle there hence the population density is high.
Though the most prominent reason is the fertility of the land and rich waters of the perennial rivers and tourism.
Actually this region is very fertile in the country. As the ganga and it's tributaries has lots of minerals which deposits on this region. Also ganga and it's tributaries are the main source of water to the population. The temperature are also playing important role in the gangetic plain as the temperature is very variables as hot is not so hot, cold is not so cold as well as rain. All of them make the region more suitable for human population.

The Ganga- Brahmaputra basin is made up of the plains of Ganga and Brahmaputra, foothills of the Himalayas and the Sundarbans delta.
The area has monsoon climate with hot summers and cool winters.
The plains are most suitable for human occupation as they have fertile lands that are drained by rivers.
The density of plains is very high and agriculture is the main occupation of people. Paddy, wheat, maize and sorghum are other major crops that are grown.
Sugarcane and jute are prominent cash crops while silk is also cultivated.
Transportation is well developed due to plain topography. Commercial activities include industries and tourism.
Hope it helps....!!
