Department of Philosophy, Dev Samaj College for Women, Ferozepur on 3rd November, 2018, organized a Book Launch -Cum- Panel Discussion on the Book “Unraveling Gandhi's Alternative Modernity: A Philosophical Debate on Caste and Gender” written by the College faculty of the Department of Philosophy, Dr. Ambuj Sharma. The book was launched by Er. Prateek Prashar, Dean College Development, Dev Samaj College for Women, Ferozepur along with the Chief Guest Professor Rajesh Kumar Sharma, Department of English, Punjabi University, Patiala, Lallan Singh Baghel, Department of Philosophy, Panjab University, Chandigarh, Dr Rajesh Kumar Jaiswal, Department of English, University School of Open Learning, Panjab University, Chandigarh, Mr Gutej Singh Koharwala, Department of Punjabi, R.S.D. College, Ferozepur in the presence of other invited guests, faculty and students of the College.
The Book intends to explore the Gandhian understanding and vision on caste, gender and modernity with a view to envision an ideal society. It focuses on the way in which the basic problems of morality, politics and spiritual life are conceived in Gandhian philosophy from a philosophical and theoretical perspective, which in turn, is formed by the Gandhian exemplar of the ethical and cultural transformations of Indian state.
This Book intends to contribute to the debate on the issues of caste, gender and modernity by examining the underlying metaphysical, ethical and axiological issues therein. Though a veritable literature has appeared as a rejoinder to Gandhian thought, yet the present exercise is a humble attempt to re-appropriate and re-look at Gandhian views on caste, gender and modernity in a distinctive way as the present topic is of serious philosophical nature that demands further exploration and critiquing.
On the Occassion Professor Rajesh Kumar Sharma, lallan Singh Baghel and Rajesh Kumar Jaiswal reflected on the book.

Among others who participated were Dr. Ashwini Kalia, Opthomologist, Ferozepur, Shri Rakesh Sharma from Indian Railways, Ferozepur, Prof. Kuldeep Singh, Prof Azadwinder Singh, Prof. Kapil and Prof Gurtej Singh Koharwala from R.S.D College, Ferozepur.
