Law of inheritance is governed by people personal laws e.g Hindu or Muslim law. Since u r Hindu u will be governed by Hindu law. As far as ancestral property is concerned u certainly entitled for those. You need to file partisan suit in civil court to specify ur share of property.

All the property, excluding in mother's name, are liable to be partitioned amongst all brothers equally. Partition can be done either with mutual consent or through court of law. If elder brother is not ready, a partition suit can be filed in the concerned civil court.

First if possible all of you sit together with peace full mind in cohesive atmosphere and get the ancestral property devided. If the same is not possible, contact a good lawyer, apprise him about all the facts , documents and act according to his advice.
