It's kind of hard to forget about Clyde since he's the only one who is still advocating this theory. Commonality doesn't automatically translate into a direct relation:
Most of the extant mtDNA boundaries in South and Southwest Asia were likely shaped during the *initial settlement of Eurasia by anatomically modern humans.*
Since the initial peopling of South and West Asia by anatomically modern humans, when this region may well have provided the initial settlers who colonized much of the rest of Eurasia, the *gene flow in and out of India of the maternally transmitted mtDNA has been surprisingly limited* - Kivisild.

Most of this stuff is addressed.
Dude,have you actually read that link?? It discusses ancient India and African links on every level and even goes into oceanography and compares Dravidian/Australian aboriginal languages. Here's just on example: "The ancient iron civilization of Africans is establised. British archaeologists called Meroe, “The Birmingham of Ancient Africa”. Basil Davidson, a well known author named it “An Athens in Africa.” From an Indian
point of view Meroe was ‘A Vrindavan of Krishna’. What is the reason to call it so?
In Meroe, archaeologists have found two engravings. These represented their lion-gods, it seems to be of Indian origin. It resembles the Indian God Nara_Simha Murti. (See the photos:Dravidians and Africans). The age of these lion god’s engravings is attributed to the first century B. C. to the end of the first century A.D."......................
"That the Kushytes had commercial
contact with India which is not in doubt. The commercial
contacts lead to the cultural contacts also. The worship of the lion god is one among the productions of their contacts with India."
The more I read,the more I see you involuntarily invalidating your own position. The question about Cabrera still remains.
"In Table 2, we see the defining control region mutations for African Dravidian and Oceanian haplotypes. The shared haplotypes correspond to the L3(M/Q) haplogroups. These haplotypes are predominately the pan-African haplotypes: 16129,16223,16189 and 16311.
