My landlord has stopped taking rent from us on the pretext we are not the tenants and he is refusing to take rent . What is the remedy for this.

If your uncle has no objection and you landlord is ready to accept you as tenant then you can be tenant otherwise pay rent thru your uncle.
Re: Tenancy right
You may keep sending the rent amount by way of a cheque / money - order in time every month.
If an eviction petition is filed, you may take a defence that the tenancy for for joint family and that the family has not been partitioned formally.
You may need to engage a local counsel for defence to conduct your case in court, if filed by landlord.
