India should do something like SAARC but minus Pak, Afghan
would the smaller neighbors agree to that kind of an organization? not too sure (like one country would naturally be super dominant) but worth a try

We can add Sri Lanka and Maldives to the BBIN group and forget about SAARC

India should announce quitting SAARC rayyt nooow.

Technically, the previous Aghan government is still the legitimate government until the new one is officially recognized, which no one has done. To bring the Taliban-led government to a current SAARC meeting, or any other diplomatic meeting would mean de facto recognition.

Splitting hairs, but still...

How is it legitimate? You could cite the example of the French government in exile during ww2 but in this case there was no foreign invasion (rather a foriegn force was holding it all together)
A legitimate government would have survived beyond a withdrawal.

BBIN was setup after the failure of SAARC. BBIN has already succeeded in connectivity agreements.

BIMSTEC is for countries bordering Bay of Bengal. It is also majorly focused on connectivity - road, rail, maritime.
