Partially true.
According to the archives at Wilson centre, in 1950 🇮🇳 Ambassador to the USSR, Dr. S Radhakrishnan was asked in a closed meeting by Secretary Stalin whether Ceylon 🇱🇰 was a separate state, to which Dr. Radhakrishnan had replied "Yes"
When the Indian ambassador to USSR showed Stalin the map of India, Stalin pointed to Sri Lanka & asked, “What is the name of this tiny Indian island?” The ambassador said, “This is not an Indian island. It is Sri Lanka, an independent nation.” Stalin looked puzzled: “Why?”
