He has only a daughter and despite the family division, he’s using my share of the property and refuses to give it back.

Under Indian law, you have a legal right to your share of the ancestral property, which includes your deceased uncles’ shares inherited by their sons. As the surviving uncle is using your portion without your consent, you can file a partition suit to claim your rightful share.
