India got name Bharat through the great king Bharata.

Period: Treta (Silver) Yuga - over one million years BC

Bharata, the eldest son of King Rishabdev, was a devout Theist. When his exalted father retired from material life to seek God alone in the wilderness, he appointed his foremost son, Bharata, to succeed him as King.

Accepting his father's order he began to rule the vast Kingdom (modern India is STILL named Bharata, but during the time of Bharat's rule his domain, known as Bharata varsha, included all the land between Persia and South East Asia).
