Allow me to break down your post and refute each point one by one.
First of all, despite the widely acknowledged and reported fact that Musharraf fabricated economic data for Pakistan to show himself in good light - at no point of time in the last decade has Pakistan surpassed India's growth rates. I don't know why some Pakistanis feel otherwise, but pull up any yearly comparison chart for India and Pakistan from any source like ADB,IMF, WB as you like and you will find that Pakistan has not crossed India's growth rates for even one year. I request you to pull up numbers and dont cop out so that you know you were factually wrong.
How about you read my comment, I said before the war on terror began, which was before the last decade. Second, no, Musharraf did not fabricate economic data, he never had a need to. Pakistan's economy was doing pretty well, according to most global banking institutions. So much for your refuting.
The point here was that since Pakistan cannot affect India's economy, the only area that really matters above all else, Pakistan's ability to be a thorn is very very limited.
No, the point was not economics, it was geopolitics. The entire point was geopolitics, stop trying to change the topic to suit your argument.
India does care about foreign influence and which is why we are the biggest influence maker in the SAARC region with the only exception of Pakistan. In all the rest of the nations, India is the biggest influence.
India is the second biggest influence, China is the biggest. Even if India was the biggest, Pakistan is still a thorn that India wants to get rid of, but can't seem to.
The Chinese had managed to string us, but with an effective leadership finally back at our helm, we have practically kicked them out to the extent that Chinese Government in their mouthpeice said that India is the defacto power of South Asia and China should convince India first for any move before it takes other countries(barring Pakistan) along.
Bullshit. India has not managed to kick out the Chinese, they've only been able to slow them down. China is still pushing forward with it's projects in South Asia, even inside India itself ($22 billion promised to India).
Pakistan for a multitude of reasons has close to zero influence in South Asia - yes, even including Sri Lanka. And is simply not capable of being a thorn in India's regional foreign policy.
Pakistan has enough influence in South Asia, just because Indian influence is larger, doesn't mean Pakistani influence doesn't exist. Your blind nationalism is making you believe that India has no challenge in South Asia from Pakistan, when reality shows otherwise.
Your reasoning that India continues to take action against Pakistan somehow mean Pakistan is great in its ability to be a thorn is completely absurd. Pakistan is a regional enemy, and whether it is an effective enemy or not, the GoI will take actions to neutralize that enemy instead of sitting on their collective behinds and ignoring the threat.
I said no such thing. Pakistan's ability to distract India is still there, whether it's great or not is up for debate, but there is no denying that India is far too distracted by Pakistan to continue without a challenge. The CPEC, and Chinese warnings about Indian sabotage is enough to prove that India finds Pakistan as a far greater threat than you seem to think it does.
If tomorrow Nepal or even Mogadishu starts taking actions against India's interests, our Government and military will respond. This does not mean that the enemy are effective, it just means that we would like to ensure that we injure or debilitate every single opponent of ours whether big or small, whether effective or not. We don't sit in royal courts anymore where the emperor ignores some small enemies to make a point or because he thinks they are beneath them. We live in an age where Governments and Nations are proactive.
Your example is absurd, Pakistan is neither Nepal nor Mogadishu. You overestimate India's ability, and underestimate Pakistan.
Lastly, peace has always been in Pakistan's hands. If Pakistan were serious about peace, it would not have started the tribal invasion of Kashmir right in the 1940's or heck started the second war in 1965. Had Pakistan been a defensive military nation, it would not have invoked war. The onus of peace is on Pakistan solely, not India.
Peace is always in the hands of the greater power, not the lesser. Your logic is flawed, and ignores how geopolitics works. It is up to the greater power to show that it is not a threat to the lesser. You bring up Kashmir but ignore it's history, or for that matter, India's own.
The last time, the Govt of India sued for peace blindly under the guidance of dove's was when Kargil happened. And whether you like it or not, Kargil now symbolizes Pakistani behaviour in India. Therefore, India will never be magnanimous in any deal with Pakistan any more.
No it doesn't. Don't be ridiculous. During Musharraf's era, Pakistan and India came very close to signing a peace deal involving Kashmir, but it was India that ended up ruining it, not Pakistan.
Take a hint - India just this month just gave away 10,000 acres of India's territory in Land Boundary settlement which required a special constitutional amendment and thousands of kilometers of maritime sea in a maritime settlement to Bangladesh. By the end of next month (after ratification from 50% of the states of India - a constitutional requirement after Parliamentary ratification), India's dispute on borders with Bangladesh - both land and sea will be over!
BD is not Pakistan (it should never have been, but that's another story), so your example is bad. It is a well known fact that BD is practically an Indian satellite state. Even if it wasn't, the fact that it was INDIA that took the initiative and not BD, proves my point. You literally proved my point.
Goes to show that India will strive for peace and great relations with every nation in South Asia even at cost to itself apart from Pakistan.
No it doesn't. If you think India is doing this out of good will, then you clearly don't understand how geopolitics works. No rising power does this because of good will, it's simply to expand it's influence, and rise it's international stature. No rising nation, not even India, does things out of good will.
Because we understand Pakistani behaviour and more specifically we understand that Pakistan is a military state and the conundrums that every military faces when they make a state their own.
You clearly have been living under a rock for the last decade, if you really believe this. Things have changed, this is not the 1980s. When you say "we", you mean yourself, and you clearly have a poor understanding of Pakistan.
Therefore, as I said. No Government of India will ever or should ever strive for peace with a country like Pakistan which is close to pathological in its attempt to use non-state actors and terrorism. I will not vote for such a government, and neither will fellow Indians.
And there we have it, back to square one. It's like I'm talking to a monkey, who keeps repeatedly doing the samething over and over again, expecting a different result.
You have not read a single thing I've written. So much for your refutation, as you've not done a single thing to refute what I've said.
This was followed by massive applause from the audience!! 
Jumping jellybeans! They really believed it!!
