Should two of the world's leading democracies fall out over something like this? Both countries have a track record of assassinating national security threats on the territories of other countries, including allied states.

Define falling out. Also, what's India's track record of assassinations beyond Modi?

I think the cardinal sin here is not trying to extradite the person, or asking the host country for permission or assistance via some backchannel.

How are you sure it did not happen? I am not suggesting India tried everything first, but neither party here has a proven track record of trustworthiness. If India wants to stop him by any means, the best strategy would be to not ask and be denied; it would be a shame if something happened to him later.
