Sure there were Jews who went to and lived in India but they are not Ashkenazim. The Italy connection is because Jews were taken by the Romans as slaves to Italy after they defeated the Jewish rebellion in 70AD. Maybe some of them moved later through the Roman empire on a free basis. That is how they found themselves in the Rhineland on the frontiers of the empire. Around 1000AD the big Jewish communities in Europe were in Eastern France/Western Germany and in Spain. The movement to Eastern Europe taking German=Yiddish eastwards comes later. My father's family stuck around in central Germany for 1500 years instead it would seem... I would have to search for the source online, but the evidence is that Ashkenazi mitochondrial DNA is from southern Europe lines and would match Italy well while the Y chromosone matches Middle Eastern lines well. Jewish men got Italian wives... Of course there has been plenty of further mixing though the trend was mainly for assimilation into the surrounding European community of course...
