Sorry Sir for not fleshing my thoughts out .
I don't think even they think they could hold off an invader and they don't really have an army to do such and limited plans in case of an invasion at best. Their army is more or less a regional light infantry COIN force. The article Xinhui put up put them as an internal secuitry force with limited and equipment for fighting an external enemy off on their own. And as COIN armies go not much equipment for that mission either. The article did mention fighting in hopes of the world stepping in.

But the question I think is why India would think about taking over and occupying the whole nation in the first place? "Cold Starting" or "WZCing" them might do the trick if things between them ever got that bad and setting up for a huge force invasion to sack the capital would probably take too long and a message could be deliveired by not even marching into the capital. Destorying some major ground units, crippling their air force and navy and blowing up a lot of equipment while burning bushes would get a message across.
With a small air force and navy and divisions planning to fight on their own it would make them an easy mark to cut up and then leave. And that's if sending planes into their airspace, ships into their waters or SOFs on cross border raids don't send a message.
I doubt India would feel the need (or want to) to occupy and manage 140+ million people...

Basically I would wonder if the thread was even on mark as India would have plenty of options other then invading the entire nation... air strikes, naval actions, raids, strategic raids and so forth up to killing battalions...
And yes the guy on CDF was fishing to say very nice things about the BDF even mentioning several times how old BD is (if a nation cannot form an well trained army in 34 years I have no idea what the problem is)...
