This development is viewed in parallel with the changing societal setup by utilising concepts like westernisation and modernisation that helped facilitate education and promote social equality among the people by shrinking the persisting barrier of caste system to a profound extent and diminishing the role of indigenous concepts of social upliftment like Sanskritisation. After foreseeing the number of speakers of English that gives rise to the standard variety of English in India, i.e., Indian English, its potential in a socio-cultural context, and the interest among subsequent learners of the language, the paper concludes that the growth prospects for English appear to be vital, and it will continue to emerge as an essential language in the coming generations in India.

LMER tests for part (i) confirm that the lengthened duration of the intervocalic consonant (C2) and contraction in the duration of the preceding vowel (V1) among geminates serve as the primary
phonetic cues in differentiating Dogri geminate from a singleton.
The comparison of singleton – geminate distribution between Dogri and Punjabi in part (ii) reveals that the main cue of difference between the
two languages lies in the flanking vowels. Whereas the contracted V1 duration appears promising in Dogri, Punjabi, instead, relies upon reducing the duration of V2. The study concludes that different treatment to maintain singleton – geminate contrast in the two genealogically related languages is due to the respective phonotactics that governs the distribution of duration across segments.
