Homonym: untouchable (Inaccessible)
The term "untouchable" originally refers to a social group in India that is outside the traditional caste system. Members of this group, often called Dalits, historically faced severe discrimination and were denied basic rights and opportunities. The term has evolved to describe individuals or entities that are considered immune to criticism or harm.
In a broader context, "untouchable" can also refer to someone or something that is regarded as too important or powerful to be challenged. This usage often applies to public figures, organizations, or ideas that are perceived as beyond reproach, making it difficult for others to question or oppose them.
