Rāmachandrapant is interpreting *Realpolitik* in terms of the political philosophy of the *nītiśāstras*. To a certain extent he is not a writer of political philosophy strictly so called. His *Rājanīti* is often a philosophical explanation of political history. He looks like an historian and his work appears to be somewhat of a contribution to the philosophy of history. But on the whole the general philosophical or speculative character of the work cannot be missed.
