Traditionally the land was kept by men in the family. For the last 40 - 50 years everyone is getting equal share. This is the general system now. But there are differences in Hindu land succession laws and Christian succession laws. I am only aware of the Christian family laws on a high level.

On a very different note, Kiva is working on a blockchain ! I don't have much details but if you are interested in anyway I can share. My email id is same-as-my-steem-user-name @ gmail.com :-)
