There is no credible evidence for either American Indians or India Indians being descended from Hebrews, with the possible exception of some relatively recent crossbreeding.

The Book of Mormon, which the LDS church regards as Holy Scripture, claim that the descendants of a wealthy Hebrew prophet named Lehi crossed the (Pacific) Ocean to the Promised Land (the Americas) some time around 600 BC. However, modern anthropology, genetics, and archaeology have found absolutely no support for any of this, and even the LDS has backed off a bit, now only claiming that the Lamanites are "among the ancestors of the American Indians" instead of being "the principal [emphasis mine] ancestors of the American Indians" due to overwhelming evidence that the American Indians are far more closely related genetically to people from East Central Asia than to people from the Middle East.
