Legal Question in Family Law in India

i am a muslim women. In June 2011 I got married to a software engineer, working in big muti-national Cognizant (CTS). He showed 6 lakhs per annum salary & he & His brother/sisters/relatives demanded 10 laksh dowry. Seeing his big salary & good job in CTS, My parents gave him more than he asked - approximately they spent 25 lacs for my marriage. Within few months after marriage, he, his brother/sisters started torturing me & my family very aggresively to get more dowry & give them all the gold that my parents have given to me- they sent me back to my parents house asking me to get more money & gold. My husband kept me with him just for 3 months since marriage - I became pregrant & he left me at my parents house after 3 months. For the last 24 months I am at my Parents house. I am having now 18 month girl baby. My husband left Cogniznat & left to Kuwait - not sure, what job he is doing there. He is in Kuwait for last 2 years. He is not giving any maintenance to me/my daughter, not even calling us, not even coming to meet us for the last 2 years. He came several times to India & passed by our town, but did not come to meet us - Even he is not responding to calls & emails from our parents - He has changed his cell phone numbers & he is avoiding me & my family. In this situation, please advise me what steps do I need to take to make him realize his responsibilities towards his wife & daughter- for last 24 months, my husband is not bothered about me & my daughter & he is avoiding us. He is right now in Kuwait & not reachable.
