Detailed Solution

A person who did not belong to a particular group or culture was a foreigner in the past.
In the medieval era, a stranger was considered a foreigner if they did not come from that particular hamlet or belonged to that particular group or culture. So, for instance, a city person would have thought of a woodland dweller as an outsider. They are not aliens if they live in the same village. A person who is not an Indian is referred to as a "foreigner" in this context.

In this regard, a city person considered a forest dweller a stranger.
