876 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Shri B. Gupta: He cannot say such things. An older man like him can not say such things.
Mr. Chairman: Mr. Sundarayya, tell him that he will have an opportunity of answering and he need not get excited.
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar: You will have time to answer. Don’t be impatient. The person who is often uneasy is the Prime Minister but he is not today. He is quite calm. Why are you so excited ?
If you want to have a look at the authority, I will give it to you—I have got it here—provided I am assured that you will return it to me.
Shri B. Gupta: You have your document from McCarthy and Dulles.
Dr. B, R. Ambedkar: Now, Sir, I was saying that if we take stock of the situation from May 1945, and find out what has happened, this is the situation. Russia has consumed, as I said, ten European States: one is Finland; two, Estonia; three, Latvia; four, Lithuania; five, Poland; six, Czechoslovakia, seven; Hungary; eight, Rumania; nine, Bulgaria; and ten, Albania.
Shri B. Gupta: ........... and eleven is Dr. Ambedkar!
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar: I am glad you add to my list. You are more upto-date than the book.
In addition, Russia has taken possession of parts of Germany, Austria, Norway and the Danish Island of Bornholm. Of these ten European States, three have been straightway annexed by Russia and made part of her country. The rest seven are kept under Russian influence. This European conquest of Russia amounts to an absorption of a total of
85,000 square miles and 23 millions of people subjugated.
In the Far East, Russia has annexed the Chinese territory of China (Tannu Tuva). Manchuria, and Korea, north of the
38th parallel, and Southern Sakhalin. This territory in the Far East represents against a total area of 20,000 square miles and 500,000 inhabitants.
