Yes, there is concern about the military situation between India and Pakistan, but I will say that the Indian newspapers are making much less of the situation than American media seems to. There are six newspapers daily in the Jesuit Residence, all but one in English. Most of the stories say that Pakistan is backing down from its confrontational stance, although some have also mentioned India's stand as well. None have been very alarmist.
I asked a couple of the priest if they were concerned. They said they were, but not overly so. One of the priests said that he didn't believe there was anything to worry about until the end of the month when India celebrates Republic Day. I guess there's no reason to worry since there is nothing we can do about anything (and the security is pretty high here at St. Xavier).
