Who called the land mass as Bharatham, some piece of litreature thats it. I do not think that term Bharatham was ever used in that sense by the kings or the common man. Tamil litreature does not include that term and neither the rock edicts of ashoka or other kings uses that term. Just because some author proposed that term in his story does not mean it was really used in that sense.

Becuz, even Ashoka was not able to bring the entire Bharathavasha under one kingdom.....It is Rajendra Chozha, was able to do that....but he didn't do any Rajasooya yagam or someting to proclaim himself as a "Chakravarthi"...

Well...as far as Bharatham is concerened, the entire land mass between the east and west ocean and from Himalayam to Kanya kumari....it was called Bhartha Varsham....if you want to call it by some thamizh name, I dont mind....as the culture remained the same....
