Not much connection I can find. Mithra was a Persian solar deity. Hindus worship a large pantheon of Gods and Goddesses; the devas, lead by Indra, and the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Mother Kali and Durga are prominent Hindu Goddesses. The Hindus have a huge body of religious literature called the Vedas, and the Upanishads. Hinduism is still widely practiced in India to this day.

Mithra is the creator god of mithraism, a religion founded by zaratustra about the constant fight between good and evil.
brahma is also god creator, Mithra's counterpart in hinduism.

Mitra has been mentioned in Rigveda together with Varuna...
and that is as close as i can gather...
yes ....i know Mithra is associated with Zoroastrian culture..but other than that i can't say much about it.
