Genetically they're closer to Arabs and Europeans than to Southeast Asians

Lol, you don't need to be rude.

I think we Indians are quite distant from both Arabs and Southeast Asians, closer to Arabs but not that close.

Southeast asians. Only some Gulf arabs have dravidian admixture, rest of arabs (Levantine, Maghrebi) don't have it. Dravidians don't need to be mongoloid for Southeast Asians to mix them.

Not in my opinion: Dravidians are neither related to Southeast Asians nor Arabs nor you Turks.

[Mingle]

Proto-Dravidian came from West Asia. Also, Dravidians are mostly Caucasoid.

Even though modern Dravidians are very different from Arabs, their difference to Southeast Asia is much larger.

So I'd say Arabs.
