Indra is probably more the instigator here than Shiva. Shiva probably doesn't care about who is better. Shiva is pretty much seen as the strongest Hindi, and quite possibly, the strongest God period. Only Trihexa, Great Red, and a full power Ophis to our knowledge surpass his strength. Hence why Ajuka and Azazel came to him when they feared Trihexa might be released. Like I said, this could just be self-righteousness or a glory-hunt by Indra, either way I doubt he has "legitimate" reasons for warring with Shiva. Hence why he needs to prize from the Azazel Cup to be allowed to war, because the embodiment of destruction fighting the ruler God of the Hindu gods would be a massive war.
