Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
The first narration which you mentioned is authentic and is reported by the scholars 
whom you mentioned, and narrated by others with the wording “A group of people will conquest India”, as regards the narration which you mentioned: “A group of people from India will conquest…” then this is not authentic, and it contradicts the authentic narration which we mentioned.
Concerning the other narration which you mentioned, we have not come across any trace of it, but if you mean the narrations of the people who will hold black flags and who will support the Mahdi then these narrations are authentic, and some narrations, stated that they are from Khurasan (eastern Persia), but some scholars classified these narrations as weak.
