A simple solution would be to calculate all your costs in running a 15 year long legal battle + cost of flying to and fro to India + mental pain and overall misery
I am sure that would be a sizable amount : start by offering half of the above amount to your uncle.. keep increasing it to 100% of the above calculation .. I am sure if he is a reasonable man, he will accept...
If he does not.. then offer him another deal the other way round.. ask him to pay that same amount to you and you will give him full rights to the property...
If that fails... contact any influential local broker in the area and tell him that you want to rent out the place, offer him to pay the similar amount (as you would offer your Uncle) as brokerage if he can get it emptied from uncle and his stuff.. I am sure you will find a solution somewhere...
