A Note on Aryabhata's Principle of Relativity
Abstract
This paper presents the principle of relativity of motion as described in Aryabhata's text Aryabhatiya. This principle is likely to have been instrumental in the faming of Aryabhata's theory that the earth rotated on its axis and, therefore, it has played a very important role in the history of astronomy.
