The claim that the word Sakastan derives from Old Persian Zaranka is dubious and unsubstantiated. The Sakestan page gives a different etymology, as land of the Saka. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.196.165.105 (talk) 22:18, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Someone added some utterly bogus information re Aurel Stein (not borne out by the actual Stein texts, which are available on the web) and a link to a kook website making grandiose claims for Sistan as the homeland of Buddhism! Ranjit Pal is not a recognized scholar and his website claims are utterly bogus.
I've been researching the history of Sistan for several years now, have read the original Stein texts (as well as Bellew, Sykes, Landor, etc. -- I'm still trying to get hold of some archaeological reports from the 1960s and 1970s, which are quite rare) and there is NOTHING to support these bizarre claims.

As the topic has historical and geographical coverage of last several centuries, use of the term Indian subcontinent shall be in order, instead of a relatively new term South Asia to avoid confusion. Accordingly, suitable changes are being made. --Bhadani 16:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Do we require reference to Rajputs in this page - almost 50% of the contents relate to Rajputs. We should write more about the place here, if a place named this exists at all. --Bhadani 17:01, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
We are building the project wikipedia and it is not a link-farm: we should use standard links for references. Links with semi-commercial contents/ advertisements/ seeking donations, etc. do not serve useful purpose, and therefore I have removed such a link with a view to preserve the Project's credibility. --Bhadani 17:17, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I reduced the Sakasthan page to its defination and non-controversal version.

Merged the unreferenced poorly written article "Sakastan", which is just another name for the same geographic region. One article is enough for the region. 86.99.216.121 (talk) 15:20, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi User:HistoryofIran please discuss this issue with User:Khestwol who had requested that your Undiscussed controversial page move be reverted back to original location. I handled that request. if you would still want to get this moved, please follow the proper procedure to rename a page at WP:RM by starting a move discussion. regards. --DBigXrayᗙ 21:13, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
