Not fully true. Its not derrived from the indian meaning untouchable, but from a greec religious sect meaning "the ones who dont consort with others" they were ascetics and magicians, and gypsies were later called from athiganoi that. And it doesnt exactly mean untouchable but the "ones who dont consort with others" or BECAUSE they "dont touch others" not because they are untouchable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athinganoi
