Mleccha (English spelling)
In ancient Indian texts, this term refers to barbarians, barbarians, or foreigners. It means those who live outside the Aryan lands, that is, outside the lands where Brahmanism (Hinduism) is practiced and the four Varna order is maintained. Those who belong to the three Varnas (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, and Vaishyas) (Aryas) avoided going to the country of the mlecchas or associating with them as an unclean act. Historically, peoples considered to be mlecchas have often invaded and dominated India.
