SRINAGAR India (Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused Pakistan on Tuesday of waging "proxy war" by sending militants to attack India and he used a trip to the disputed Kashmir region to stress that reconciliation between the nuclear-armed neighbours needs peace.

Making his second visit since his election triumph in May to the northern region - whose territory has been disputed since a war between India and Pakistan that followed their independence in 1947 - Modi vowed to strengthen India's armed forces.
