Every ancient society had the concept of Outsiders, those who do not belong to their culture. In the Ancient Indian Tradition, the term Mleccha was used. In this video, I talk about what the Dharmasutra and Dharmashastra literature have to say about Mlecchas. I also discuss how Mlecchas are viewed in Buddhist and Jaina traditions as well.

Mellecha in Vedas are different than Dharamsutras , Mellecha in Vedas are the people who migrated from India and no longer follow Vedic Traditions , Battle of 10 kings some tribes were expelled from india , these people over time stopped following Vedic Traditions
Yes but in medieval times they start referring islamic invaders also as mlechhas. The mlecchas meaning change. They started calling barbarians as mlecchas
Pre Vedic people can be treated by that too. Migrated from India ? Where ?
@@DebajyotiBiswas32 he meant to say EXCOMMUNICATED from Indian Not MIGRATED
What you are saying its nothing like that, the opposite of Swachha (Clean) is Mlechha (Dirty), simple; Not some 'Native" VS "Foreigner"
You should know rightly about vedas. For that reason knowing vedic sanskrit is essential which is different from Laukik Sanskrit. You should go to a vaidic gurukul(there are around 40-50 only now mostly in haryana and uttarkhand) and learn Ashtadhyay, Mabhashya, Nirukt along with all 6 vedangas, after that you will an understand the brahman granth(the descriptive text of the 4 veda) and then the 11 principal upanishads and then finally you would gain the qualifications for understanding vedas.
Reading interpretations by foreign scholars such as Muller, William is useless and you will end up misunderstanding as they misinterpreted vedas which gave rise to several dogmatic theories . Veda do not contain history, that's why they are called Ishvara granth. Rigveda contains knowledge about cosmos in philosophical form and about it's designer the brahman and it's various attributes (like Indra etc) so it is known as Jyankaanda, the yajurveda contains knowledge about vaidic kaarmakanda, the saamveda praises the creation and it's creator in a musical form also known as upasana kaanda whereas the atharva veda contains knowledge about medicine, and various sciences so also known as Vijyaankaanda.
In Odia we still use "Bhadabhada" clearly derived from Sanskrit word Barabara to mean Gibberish. I dont think it is borrowed from Greek. It maybe a common IndoEuropean word or accidental similarty.
@Grappu the related Sanskrit word is Barbara, not barbarik.
@Grappu There is a Barbarik in Sanskrit but it is not related to Barbara, rather it is a type of plant. A barbaric person would be called Barbara Manushya. The quality of being barbaric would be Barbarata in Sanskrit.
Bhai Bhagabata spelling ta bhul lekicha.
@@mtarkes barbareek is a Sanskrit name, but it doesn't translate to brabaric.
Bhadabhada in odia is more of an onomatopoeia for someone speaking a great deal of nonesense or meaningless things and has nothing to do with "Barbara"
Mleccha is what my mom calls me when I haven't showered till noon.
Interesting!! Can you tell more about that?
Tf true 😂
What a based mom
Same used to happen, when I used my left hand to eat something
Same here. Mleccha term is still used.
Barbara (बर्बर) has a native Sanskrit etymology with its primary meaning being 'stammerer'/'someone with unclear speech', while 'outsider'/'foreigner' being a secondary or derived meaning due to the foreigners not being fluent in the local language. It is much more likely that reason the two word appear to be similar with similar meaning is that they Sanskrit and Greek have a common origin.
Among bengalis during the pre-independence time, when someone went to the western world especially UK for studies or job were considered mleccha, because they lived in mleccha desh. They were not allowed to enter into their home unless they go to river Ganga, do some religious rituals, and take some dips in the holy water to cleanse themselves.
Why?
3 main reasons. Firstly they lived with people who didn't follow vedic practices.
Secondly among bengali people it was compulsory not just to wash but also take a bath after pooping(always with soap), whereas people of western world not even wash, they just wipe.
Thirdly they lived with people who ate the sacred animal prohibited to eat among Hindus.
Though this is a thing of the past, except the second point which is still considerable.

There was a mleccha dynsaty in the northeast , ancient kamrupa with their capital in HARUPPESHWARA ( modern city of TEZPUR in Assam) , they also built the Kamakhya Temple one of the most prominent Shakti peeth in India.

@@surajrshetty Search it up, you will find, it doesn't take much effort or thought into searching wikipedia or any other general historical knowledge website, does it?
Bhagadutta of Ancient Assam who married his daughter Bhanumati to Durjyodhana has been mentioned in Mahabharata as the Mighty king of the the Mlechchas. He was the son of Narakasura ( who was the son of Earth and Varaha avatar of Lord Vishnu), who built the Maa Kamakhya temple.
This is a wrong concept. In North-east it was the Dynasty of Kirata (tribes - E.g. Kasari), Asura. Not Mleccha.

Would you connect Mlecchas with Meluhha, and/or Melek referring to Kings in the Mid-East?
There's a theory that the word Mleccha is derived from Meluha. The word Meluha appears in Mesopotamian inscription and Historians have argued that Meluha was used for the people of Indus Valley. But I think there aren't enough evidence to prove this theory.
@@marshallmathers4738 everyone was a malechch for other traditions. For early Buddhists people who didn't speak magadhi prakrit were mlechchh. For rigvedic people everyone outside of saptasindhu were malechchh, most of the time they called Persian tribes malechchh. I don't find a single mantra in Rig-Veda where Nepalis are called mlechchh in Rig-Veda, Rig-Veda didn't even know if nepal exists. I don't know were you found your sources that Nepali tribes were malechcha in hindu literature.
There's a hypothesis baloch word emerged from malech or malekh or maleh. I think meluha in Sumerian literature were not for all IVC people but baloch tribes of baloochistan region. I think ancient baloch tribes were hostile to rigvedic people. Though everything is hypothesis, nothing can be said with certainty till a Rosetta stone is found.
@@marshallmathers4738 No, Mleccha was not used in sence of tribes too. King Ram's friend the Tribal King who helped Ram to cross Ganga, had studied with Ram was mentioned as "Prabhu or Mahodaya"...... In one of the text I don't remember its name may be Geeta there mentioned "Kans called Yemen king of Mleccha for help to fight against Krishna"
Bhavish purana has defined "Melecha" or who are Melechs, who eats non-veg, have beards, and no moustaches, eat like a monsters/rakshasa, speech is bad etc. So is it defining Muslims as Melechas? or Muslims are Melichs? who came to India/bharat varsha/Arya vart and spoiled their peace and culture?

The Arabs had a similar language based way of separating themselves from foreigners. They used to call outsiders Ajam which means: mute, silent, unable to speak, non-fluent, incomprehensible.
That is to say that the only ones who could truly speak were Arabs and rest of the people spoke insignificant languages which compared to their language was like being silent.
Mallachhi we call people who are unorganised and untidy.... even by my mom and siblings
1:08 बर्बर was borrowed from Greeks or
was it the Greeks who took this word from Sanskrit ?
The term Barbara is not present in the Vedic texts. It is found in text which were composed during the 2nd century AD and as you know this was after the Greek interlude. That's why we can safely say that it was borrowed from the Greek term barbaros.
@@JayVardhanSingh thank you for replying Jay.
Please take a look at the श्लोक 1 54 23 of वाल्मीकि रामायण mentioned below

Then that great-resplendent Vishvamitra indeed released his missiles, by which Yavana-s, Kaambhoja-s, and the Barbara-s, are rendered helter-skelter." Thus Sage Shataananda continued his narration of Vishvamitra.
source: valmikiramayan pcriot com
(replace spaces with dot)
It clearly mentions the word बर्बर and on the stated source it says
"the word 'Barbara' might have been the ancestor word of the present day 'Barbarian.'"
Interesting. As you are well aware, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana took its final form during the Gupta period and the fact that Yavanas are mentioned in the shloka suggest that this shloka is a later interpolation.
Thank you for taking the time to research this.
Indo European word
Even Kodavas(Living in Karnataka) were called Mlechas in Halegannada texts. Actually Kodava never followed vedic system ... Unfortunately it made a wrong prediction about Kodavas that they are from Kurdhi or place from Greek...
Genetic study of Kodava shows that they are indeed a bit different from other Dravidians but they're very simple to that of Nairs and Brahmins who're migrants from North.
I've seen that kodava have less AASI ancestry about 35%-40% like Brahmans and Nairs, Low Aryan ancestry less than 10% but very high amount of Iranian Neolithic farmer ancestry
I predict Kodavas are descant of Warriors of Of Sindh or Balochs as Kodava have very high genetic similarity to Baluchs
@@Theintelligentsian I think Kodavas are early migrants from early stages of Indus Valley Civilization, when it was most rich in Iranian Neolithic DNA

I have a question for third kind, those who deliberately kept out of varna system, what do we call them?
Mlrchha - because they are out of Varma, but then they can understand Aryavaach.
Or Arya- because they can technical conversant, but then they aren't part of varna.
Please shade some light. Thanks
They were at the bottom of the Varna hierarchy and hence were part of it. They weren't considered Arya but also not Mleccha. Example of this would be Chandalas.
@Amol Tripathi No
@@JayVardhanSingh chandalas were not at the bottom of varna system, they were excluded from varna system.

@@adwaitvedant3297 i'm not asking reason behind meat-eating habits.
Meat eating is natural found all across europe and china.
If you read manusmriti, you'll find that the chandalas were banned from having anything like wealth or cow or land. So, what will they eat?
Explained so well and in so simple way,thanks

Do u know exactly that Barbara is borrowed from Greek?
Yes, because the term "Barabara" doesn't appear in the Vedic texts. It appears in Dharmashastra texts which were composed around 1st century AD. This was the period during which there was a great interaction between the Greeks and Indians as most of the North West was under Greek rule. And during this period there were various greeks terms that one can find in Indian texts.
I have made videos on the Indo-Greek, you can watch that for more information.
Thank you.
@@JayVardhanSingh Sure! I'll watch them!
Thank you.
@@JayVardhanSingh would you please let me know which vedic and dharmashasrta texts are you referring? and how do you know that they are composed around 1st century A. D.? Would you please give some reference?
No the Vedic Texts were not composed around 1st century AD. I was talking about the other texts.
Read Mlecchas in Early India by Aloka Parasher and about the Dharmashastra I was particularly referring to the Manusmriti which was composed around 1 st century Ad. For Reference read Manu's Code of Law by Patrick Olivelle.
Mleccha means Meat eater or Meat eating tribals as per Vedas.
Accordingly, most of the Indians today are Mlecchas for laughing out loud 😂
Even Vedic people ate meat
No it is in puranas
Hi Sir, I wana know about Accounting system in ancient India, please do share some knowledge about this topic.
I don't know much about this subject yet. But will try to gather information about it and possibly will make a video on it also.
Hmm... Maybe mleccha is Indonesian... mleccha means foreigners... Mleccha = Melaka = Malacca... This name was immortalized as the name of the strait that separates Sumatra/Swarnadwipa from Malaya/Malaysia...
We, Indonesian people also do not use bahasa Sansekerta today and prefer to use bahasa Malay/Malaya as a unifying language which was later refined into bahasa Indonesia...
According to the Purwacarita story from Aji Saka/Ajiwaka/Ajivaka, our unifying figure who comes from the Bumi Majeti/Kali Serayu river, and introduced aksara Jawa, agama tirta, and Saka calendar, Indonesian people in the past took part in the Bharatayuda war...
In Purwacarita, the center of the Archipelago/Nusantara/Dwipantara/Saptadwipa/Sunda Islands/Indonesia today is Mount Semeru/Mahameru in East Java...
Saka-Yavana = Sundanese-Javanese/Sunda-Jawa including the Daha-Kediri people from East Java... Malaya-Kamboja-Champa = Malay/Melayu...
The border between Jambudwipa (India) and the Sunda Islands (Jawadwipa/Sakadwipa/Java, Barunadwipa/Borneo, Swarnadwipa/Sumatra, etc) is the Malacca Strait...
Perhaps, the mleccha people in your scriptures are the people of Southeast Asia today...
Btw, muslims in Indonesia, especially the island of Java, still carry out the nyadran/sradha/upacara ziarah kubur, using the Meru/Mahameru symbol during upacara slametan/syukuran/thanksgiving, upawasa/puasa/fasting/shaum, upacara ruwatan, and use the Saka calendar (Javanese Mataram/Penanggalan Jawa), and aksara Jawa...
I don't know, maybe the word mleccha is used in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism for people who follow the teachings of Aji Saka/Ajiwaka/Ajivaka such as muslims on the island of Java, agama Sunda Wiwitan, Kasumedangan, Kejawen, Kapitayan, etc...
Addition:
Now, Aji Saka/Ajiwaka/Ajivaka is considered a Muslim by Sundanese and Javanese people and therefore the center of agama tirta in the past was successfully moved peacefully from Mount Semeru/Mahameru in East Java to Mecca by Sheikh Subakir... Please read the story about Syekh Subakir and Sabdo Palon/Sanghyang Ismaya/Semar...

Ancient 'n' word was 'm'. 😦
Where are these scriptures? Can they be available for people to read? I thought Hindu had oral traditions and nothing was written down till Gupta period...
Yes you're right that most of the scriptures were written during the Gupta period. But they existed before the gupta period. Most of the scriptures mentioned in this video were composed orally and passed down from one generation to another. If you want to read the Dharmashastra text, I would recommend you to read History of Dharmashastra by P.V Kane.
I hope it answers your question.

Are "maleccha" entomologically related to "maluha", maybe when aryans came they called maluhans(hurrapans) malechha like in Britain anglo-saxons called native British people "welsh"(outsiders)?
Yes, there's a theory that the word Mleccha comes from Meluha. Meluha is the term which appears in Sumerian records and historians believe that this term is used for the people of the Indus Valley Civilization.
Don’t agree with you at 1.08: Barbara was not necessarily borrowed from Greek. As a matter of fact, there is a character in the Mahabharata who is named barbara if I’m not mistaken
You mean Barbarik?
What is the oldest or older use of Mleccha ? Vedic culture was centered in Punjab, who were the Mleccha groups at that early stage. There were native people of the Indus Valley whose material culture is not Vedic.
The Mlecchas of the Vedic texts are those who do not speak Sanskrit.

New research tells us that the term "mlechha" is alternation of the word "meluha".
Meluha is a mesopotamian name of indus valley civilisation found on rock inscription of ancient mesopotamia.
It's possible that the aryans encountered the people of indus valley civilisation and called them mlechha which later developed into derogatory term in dharmashastras.
@@Aman-qr6wi source

@@AtheistNationalistthe chola empire is 1200 years old and by then everyone had mixed in the subcontinent...
The time he's referring is of the late Vedic age(1100 -500 BC) when Aryavarta was limited to North-West India , during that time period those who lived outside of the Aryavarta and didn't subscribed themselves to the Brahmanical fold were considered as mleccha by the Aryans.
6:37 Is this the reason Buddhist monks traveled only south and east of Bharat?
It could be a reason but this statement was made in early Buddhist text. During the Kushana period, various Buddhist missions were sent in Central Asia region.
Mlechcha means any person other than the thraivarnikas (Brahmin, Kshathriya, vaishyas) according to them
Nope, shudras and mlechha are totally different. Chinas are described as mlechha not Shudras.

Will surely do so in the Future. Thank you.
According to the present day DNA tests, the so-called ancient Europeans did have paternal DNA from Bharat where they did practice the ancient Vedic way of life, much before the word GREECE came to life. And as we know that Sanskrit is an old language which still exists, the ancient Europeans did carry the language with them outside of Bharat. DNAs don't lie. So, my friend, I respectfully disagree when you mention the word BARBARA had been borrowed from the Greek word BARBAROS. It was the other way around. In fact, the whole Aryan invasion theory is a hoax instead, there was an out of Bharat migration that happened. Facts are facts.

Barbara (बर्बर) is also name mentioned in the Mahābhārata (cf. II.29.15, III.48.19, VI.10.55, XII.200.40) and represents one of the many proper names used for people and places.
So if Mahabharata took place before Greek invasion of India around 1200 BCE or before that as contested by different scholars...We can clearly say that either it was not the first Greek invasion of India in 326 BCE ...And before that also India had contact with Greeks or barbaras were North West Indian Indus Periphery tribes or central Asian tribes who migrated to west
No, it simply means that some of the passages of Mahabharata was of later interpolation. It is generally accepted in the historical community Mahabharata as text took its final form during the Gupta period. This doesn't mean that Mahabharata happened during this period. No one claims that.
About the earliest reference of Greek encounter. It could be the case that the Greek employed by the Achaemenids may have interacted with the Indians. But what is important is that in the Later Vedic texts, there's no mention of Barbara. This tells us a lot.
But every body is Hindu. There are no rules of becoming a Hindu

Marmara and Sarsara is the phonetic sound produced when something is broken and if someone is walking upon dried leaves. These are called as onomatopoeia. Whereas Barabara has no relation with this. Barbara means uncivilized in nature. It's origin is in Sanskrit itself not in Greek.

If Dharmasutras were composed after 600 BCE, how is it that they mentioned ध्रुव तारा (probably closer to अरुंधती) in marriage rituals (he shows his bride ध्रुवतारा and Arundhati. They pray let our life/marriage be stable like ध्रुव, etc.)
Note - there is no ध्रुवतारा in Brahmana and मंत्र part of Vedas. The word ध्रुव exists but it is an adjective, and ध्रुव direction is same as अधर , meaning earth is ध्रुव (stable).
Also note the legend of ध्रुव attaining “अढळ” status near Saptarshis. And concerns in Aranyakas about ध्रुव is on the move.
Note that there was NO ध्रुव तारा between 2000 BCE and 1200 CE.
This data shows original Dharmshastras must have been composed around the time when there was a unmoving star. The extant versions may have been composed later and continued to document the post wedding tradition of showing Druv and Arundhati but other data also indicates substantial parts may from 2000 BCE or earlier.
hi jay, i think the term barbaros was not greek. maybe it is of ancient indian origin because It was the name given to the grandson of Bhima in Mahabharat who was considered as an outsider due to his demonic lineage. Please reply.
I don't think so because there're reference to Yavanas as well. Most scholars agree that Mahabharata is a layered texts and some of the passages are later additions.
So these terms probably later added to the text.
Hi.. I belong from a small Dimasa tribe of Northeast, India. Dimasas/Kacharis are believed to have ruled a large portion of Northeast Indian territory and now it's highly endangered language. Historians traces our origin from Hidimdi, the consort of the great Bhima from Mahabharata. We still worship Hidimdi, the mother of Gatotkacha.. It's basically the goddess Kali that we worship as Amaai(mother) Hidimdi. We also worship Shiva as Madai(Ma- Big/supreme; daai(डाई)- god) Shibarai.
Surprisingly, the word "Mleccha" is similar to our Dimasa word "Mlaishé" which also means an outsider. Some Scholars identify us as the Mlecchas and some as golden looking Kiratas from Mahabharata.
Though our language falls under Sino-tibetan language tree, there are lot of similar words with Sanskrit and Hindi.
Eg.,
Haat (Market) - Hathai (हाठाइ)
Akasha(Sky) - Nokhashau(Nokha-morning; Bashau>shau- above);
Mukha(Mouth) - Bukhu/Khu (open/mouth)
Mukha(Face) - Mukhaang(Mu-face; khaang- jawline)
Gur(Molasses) - Gurudi (Guru- sugarcane; di- water/liquid/syrup)
Tar(purification) - Gathaar/Gthaar/thaar
Sthaan(place) - Hathaan/thaan( Ha-soil/land; thaan-place)
Sankhya(Number) - Shaain(count); shaainkho (count more)
and many more.
Nice video
Thank you.
Thank you very much Sir
Most welcome
What about ther term Meluh used by medapotomia on harappans
There's this theory that Mleccha terms has connection with this term. But it is just a speculation and since we don't know about the IVC script and language it is hard to say what connection, if there's any between the two term.
Good topic

Were South East Asians considered Mleccha?
They were certainly Dharmic but I am not sure if they followed the Varna System.
The word 'mleca' has a different meaning in Indonesia (Javanese, and Sundanese). Mleca means foreigner. Cambodia (Kamboja), Malaya (Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan/Borneo), Saka, Java (Yavana) use this term for foreigners.
Regarding the kasta/varna system, it was removed during the Shiva-Buddhist period (after the Cholamandala invasion of the Sriwijaya kingdom which caused the city of Nalanda to collapse, and the center of Buddhism moved to Borobudur, Central Java, and the center of agama Siwa moved to Mount Semeru/Mahameru, East Java). Even so, the concept of raja resi/rishi/begawan is still preserved today. This concept has existed since the days of Hindu Mataram, the Islamic Mataram Sultanate (senapati ing alaga ngabdurrahman panatagama), to the present. Even the concept of panatagama (panata + agama, religious administrator) is still used today.
Bhre Cakrahutomo was prevented from becoming king of the Mangkunegaran because he was a Christian. Finally, he become king after converting to Islam. Most Indonesians (especially Sundanese and Javanese) think that agama Islam is a continuation of agama Siwa-Buddha (agama = religion in Bahasa Indonesia). If interested, you can read for yourself about Bhinneka Tunggal Ika Tan Hana Dharma Mangrwa, Ajisaka/Ajivaka (the concept of Hyang, Sunda Wiwitan, Kejawen), Manunggaling Kawula Gusti (Wahdatul Wujud) and its relationship with Advaita Vedanta. Even though we are mostly Muslim, this concept is still used today and the term 'kafir' is prohibited from being used by fellow Indonesians because we believe in the first principle of Pancasila, namely Belief in the One and Only God (Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa).
I am also mlechha one of khasa chettri tribe of Nepal ancestry from kumaon here the Varna system is 1) brahmins (upadhya) top class surname matches to plain brahmins 2)joishy brahmin (khatkela) do not have right to perform rituals also called as khas bahu. 3)Thakuri (chand,Shahi,malla,Singh. Pal Shah deuba). 4) chettri also called as khas in past (kaki,bist,negi,airee,bhandari,). 5) impure caste not allowed to touch water I)kami(bishwakarma,sunar,lohar,tamta) 2)Sarkis(bhul)3)dholis(koli,damai)
This channel seems to be very addictive ❣️✌️
These Purana were written during Muslim l period 17th century AD, the Rig Veda manuscript is regisetered in UNESCO by Pune Bandarkar Insitude to 1467, These Books are not old as you say, Do some research and dont just say things which dont have any proof like Yuga etc
What you are propagating is nothing like that, the opposite of Swachha (Clean) is Mlechha (Dirty), simple.
No it's actually true, in the bhavishya malikaH, the Mlechas are referred to thr followers of Mahmat (Probably Mohammed) are tamsik, circumcised, and have beards and no mustache. U can even check zakir naik's video he mentioned it himself.

Mlecha simply means who dont follow vedic principles
