You are talking 2 decades into the future.
India is spending only 1.8% of GDP on defence.
Bangladesh cannot spend billions as it has a nascent economy.
India can spend billions as it is a developing economy.
We are spending tens of billions on social sector programmes. This past decade and a half poverty and hunger have been greatly eradicated although it still exists. The new govt. should be able to handle this menace now.
Bangladesh has greater poverty than India and fewer economic opportunities.
If Bangladesh attempts to enter the chicken neck area it can be taken out from the air with BSF handling the crumbs.
North East is heavily militarised with even local police competent to resist an offensive by so called Bangladesh Army.
Your own para military is trigger happy killing your army brass. and you claim to have a capability now or in the future to conduct an offensive on Indian territory.
Well, India still has 60% of its population without access to toilets and 6000 Indian children are starving to death daily, that means India needs more money to fund its social security programs, social indicators of Bangladesh are higher than India, that means we have more money to invest on our military.
However, we don't really need to invade India, India itself is dependent on Bangladesh to curb the insurgencies in North East while the economy of North East is highly dependent on the official and unofficial trade with Bangladesh. All we need is to put an economic sanction on India and stop the assistance to curb the insurgencies, it wouldn't take a minute to start the balkanization of India.
