I just read that the Indian government told it's citizens to leave Pakistan if they're there. Isn't India a close partner to China? Would India see this in a negative light?

Errr no. The two largest populations on the planet are in direct competition.

thats unrelated. There was a Terror attack in Kashmir recently.

they're like softly at war actually

This is cool but I also want to take this opportunity to point out SUPARCO started as a prestigious NASA partner that eventually devolved into yet another army staffed office whose only purpose is to collect a paycheck and inhibit any actual growth.
ie they could easily just choose literally anyone to be the astronaut since Pakistan axed it's space program decades ago.
