Bangladesh already have economy bigger than West Bengal + North East combined.
Sea part is wrong.Our maritime border connected to international water.
India can't be able to put pressure on Bangladesh by using north east if Bangladesh become militarily strong.North east is India's strategic vulnerability.Our defence, security posture is not as hopeless vis a vis India as you are implying.India can't thrust large armored column into Bangladesh unlike wide open Punjab or Thar desert.So our military position is not much vulnerable than Pakistan which have large cities near to Indian border.We can maintain a conventional military balance with Eastern Indian military command with much lower military strength than Pakistan.That's what we are striving by the 2030.
If maintaining good relation with India is like being satellite than all muslim countries are satellite of India except Pakistan. According to you.
We don't need north east.They are culturally and ethnically alien to us bar Tripura and some part of Assam.We are homogeneous country.We would like to keep that way.
India has nukes and BD dont have those and with west on their side there huge military can take care of BD so BD have 2 options bow down like slave or resist and make alliance with China and its allies to counter Indian game, but later is not gonna happen as earlier is slowly being in process since 1971.
