Article Requires Major Fact Check

edit

This article is suffering from major factual issues and original research issues. "The Khasas were probably the Kazakhs," is a totally uncorroborated claim with no factual validity. There was probably no contact between Vedic India and the region that is now Kazakhstan. A better explanation, based on the Mahabharata's information, is of a tribe somewhere to the north of India, perhaps in Tibet or Afghanistan. The Kazakhs, a name that is only coincidentally related to Khasa arrived in today's Kazakhstan only in the 16th century, and speak a Turkic language. At the time of the Vedic period, Scythian inhabited that region. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akhipill (talkcontribs) 04:43, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
