In India, inheritance in the absence of a will is governed by the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, for Hindus and other personal laws for other religions. You can file a suit for partition and claim your rightful share. To gather necessary details, you can approach the relevant revenue authorities or consult a lawyer who can access property records and assist you in filing the case.
