How Could South Asians Have matches to European Ashkenazi Jewish and American Settlers?

My brother did the DNA test. My parents were born in post-partition pakistan. My grandparents on both sides were born in India. My moms family was indigenous to Pakistan before crossing over to India and then going back, my dads family immigrated to India generations ago. Not surprised by the 99.7% but the others were surprising. Matches for my father or communities were Iran and Iraq (mentioned most originally from Yemen). Idk how accurate but so confused on my moms side how they would’ve ended up in India then or what this means exactly.

99.7 central & south asian .3% NW European - french and german

Mom U2c1 (L3 in East Africa, N, R, —> U) traces back to a woman in the Middle East apparently

Dad J-M67 (Middle East origin JM304, FM89-JM172-> JM67)

But my moms matches are:

Ashkenazi Jewish Central, Eastern, NW Europe Delaware Valley, Chesapeake & Midwest Settlers South Jersey Settlers Indian Diaspora in Caribbean & Fiji Japan Southeastern Quebec French Settlers Sephardic Jewish

I’m confused how any of that would’ve gotten there or where the French / German could possibly come from. Like to end up in India.

Clarification:

Those are only maternal journey matches! So I guess not anything to do with me apparently. I misunderstood. However I got this breakdown:

Results South Asian 45.04% Baloch 35.77% Caucasian 5.9% NE Euro 5.69% NE Asian 2.68% American 1.83% Mediterranean 1.65% SW Asian 0.71% Papaun 0.69% SE Asian 0.05%

So the European and American (?) is still there so I’m confused.

Also, there were the Bene Israel in India. See if there were any connections to geographic areas where they were settled.

What do you do with a drunken sailor?

Seems like some 18th or 19th century shenanigans by your grandparents.
