For all the question of caste, first and foremost the associated image (imaginary depiction) is blatantly problematic and propagandist. It is evident from the texts of various mathematicians that were "influenced by" Aryabhata, that he was not a brahmin, which is also evident from the use of "bhata"(meaning "slave") instead of "bhatta"(meaning "scholar"). Eminent Professor C. K. Raju has clearly stated ,based on study of ancient texts that Aryabhata was a great scientist and mathematician and a pride of oppressed castes in ancient India. So the image used on the page is questionable and so is that statue at IUCAA Pune, which tries to convey a false narrative of showing Aryabhata as brahmin(sacred thread depiction), hence furthering the violence in demarcating education and knowledge as only merit worthy for a brahmin to study and propagate. Hence I request Wikipedia to remove this false depiction and rather encourage more additions of text from the originals works of this great polymath of ancient times.
