If you have solid proof of defamation then go ahead with complaint otherwise collect proof first

1. If they are defaming you publicly then you can file both civil and criminal case of defamation against them

2. Moreover you must continue with your partition suit, if already filed, expeditiously so you are given due share in the joint property and seek injunction as well so your share is sold in the meantime.

3. Since this a family matter I would advise you to resolve this amicably.

The partition suit is different to that of the defamatory messages that your father is spreading against you and your wife.

You can very well file a defamation case against him for the wrong and defamatory activities he is doing agaisnt you spoiling your name and reputation in the society and in public.

You may gather substantial evidence for this acts along with witnesses to establish your case.

1) If property belongs to self owned by your mother, than you can ask your share to them or you can get equal share in the property.

2) Instead of sending them defamation notice try to solve direct problem and send notice for your equal share in the property and ask them to give your share early.

Best is file a partition suit, and get hold of ex parte ad interim injunction and then your brother and father cannot sale or rent the property. The case will be never ending one and they will not be able to sell or rent. Your purpose satisfied and get a good lawyer for yourself.

No need to file defamation such partition suit if filed already it is irritating them and and they giving you indirect hints to withdraw it by keeping you under mental pressure by insulting you.

Be calm. Its just a pressure creating tactics
