And believe it or not, it turns out that there is quite a bit of research into the origins of India's population, and you'll have to look not quite to Africa or South Asia*, but to the Middle East if you want to know where the people of India came from.
*Note, I suspect you meant to say Southeast Asia, since South Asia is largely commensurate with India and its neighbours.
The fact that the departure of India from Africa occurred 100 times farther back in the mist of geological antiquity compared to the departure of the ancestors of Indians from Africa doesn’t suffice to put his story slightly on the impossible side of improbable?
