RSS leader calls for 'Mlecch Mukt Bharat'

[Faqirze]

represent the area of almost current Pakistani boundary lines ?

All of South Asia AKA Akhand Bharat to these subhuman vermin.

 

[Maula Jatt]

Mlecch was used in reference to foreign barbarians

This included Greeks and Central Asia tribes such as Turks and Scythians

Today many Indian Jatts have Scythian origins

Jutts are not Scythian or foreign
This is the first time I am hearing of this - jat people migrated northwards from Sindh middle ages and settled areas from Punjab, Sindh to western UP

Didn't Mleccha represent the area of almost current Pakistani boundary lines ?

Mahabharata mentions citizens of two kingdoms as Mleccha's.

One was the Gandhara MahaJanapada which would be present day north-west Pakistan and parts of north-east Afghanistan.

Other was the Kamboja Mahajanapada which today would be in parts of modern-day Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

Maleccha technically refereed to people who did not speak Sanskrit or spoke bad sanskrit. This is how Patanjali defined it.

It comes from the sanskrit root word "Mal" which means "filth" or "impurity". "eccha" means "desire".

So Maleccha means people who desire to speak Filth or live in filth.

Satapatha-brahmana defines "maleccha" as

"tatraitāmapi vācamūduḥ
upajijñāsyāṃ sa mlecastasmānna brāhmaṇo mlecedasuryā haiṣā vā natevaiṣa dviṣatāṃ sapatnānāmādatte vācaṃ te 'syāttavacasaḥ parābhavanti ya evametadveda"

Translation,

Such was the unintelligible speech which they then uttered,--and he (who speaks thus) is a Mleccha (barbarian). Hence let no Brahman speak barbarous language, since such is the speech of the Asuras. Thus alone he deprives his spiteful enemies of speech; and whosoever knows this, his enemies, being deprived of speech, are undone.

As @Wiler87 has already mentioned, Mlechha means people who are foreign to the land. It's similar to being called barbarian. Greeks and Persian were Mleccha, even the Turks who were also called as Turushkas were Mlechha.

This is not correct.

Greeks were called Yavanas and they were not considered Mleccha.

The Yavanas are mentioned by Panini in one of his sutras but not as mlecchas.

In the Gautama Dharmasutra, Yavana is noted as a mixed caste but, again, not as a mleccha.

Similarly The Persians, known as Pahlavas in Sanskrit literature, are not designated as mleccha.

This is probably because they did not interfere with the Vedic practices and way of life.
