After a lull in the normalisation process between India and Pakistan, things picked up steam yet again on Friday, with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [Images] kicking off the Amritsar-Nankana Sahib bus service between the two nations.

More importantly, he offered Pakistan a 'treaty of peace, security and friendship' which he said would be the culmination of the peace process.

'I have a vision that the peace-making process must culminate in our two countries entering into a treaty of peace, security and friendship to give meaning and substance to our quest for shared goals,' Singh said in Amritsar [Images]. 'I make this offer to the people of Pakistan on this historic occasion. I am sure the leadership of Pakistan will reciprocate.'

While peace has its own dividends, is it premature to talk of a peace and friendship treaty with Pakistan, without first ensuring that all outstanding issues between the two sides, including Kashmir and cross-border terrorism, are resolved first?

Will the move boomerang on India by being seen as a sign of weakness?
