Thus lifted up to a so called higher caste many people from so called lower castes made their inroads into Brahmin caste and they are married to Brahmins and they marry Brahmins.
In other words though the margin asserted through the emergent teachings of Siddhartha Buddha and Mahabira the centre continued to eclipse the importance of the margin. And there was a point when you do not know which one is the margin and which is the centre. And that is the hour when, to borrow a notion from Mukta, there is the easeness of the dichotomy but in course of time--- a long passage of time the margin became the centre because with the advent of Islam the vernaculars of North India leaped up from Prakrit and they became the new centres. From The Prakrit of Magadh Bihar (?) sparang Maghadhi AGADHI Apabhramsa and from the Prakrit of Maharastra leaped up Maharastrian Apabhramsa and the vernaculars sprang from these Apabhramsas.
