Are south Indians related to Africans?


I have friends from Ethiopia, found them much similar to us.
The Sudroid (Indo-African) Race
The Sudran, or Sudroid, race refers to the aboriginal populations of India. Formerly widepread over all of India, they were displaced from most of Hindustan (North India) and virtually all of the Deccan by invading Aryans. Sudroid includes the following peoples:
Sudroid
  • Dravidoids (speakers of Dravidian languages)
  • Untouchables or Avarans Antyajas/Dalits/SC Adivasis/ST
  • Vedic Shudrs (Aryanized and enslaved blacks)
They are a black race, closely related to the Africans and Australoids, as evident from -
  • Black skin , broad noses , thick lips and wavy-curly hair
  • Linguistically, all the languages are related.
  • Genetically they are closely related
The Siddis are a community that migrated from East Africa to India between the 15th and 19th century. In 1987, the Sports Authority of India set up the Special Area Games program to scout and train members of the Siddi community to perform as athletes for India on the international stage. Despite the glory they have brought to the nation, the Siddis have to battle racism on a daily basis, often being treated as outsiders in the country that they have given their everything for.
The Siddis have now settled primarily in the states of Karnataka, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. They came as merchants, sailors, slaves, and mercenaries, going on to even become rulers.
