  2.  @chethanshajan9047  There was no India either, though there was Bharat. Even by that measure, it should be souther Indian.

  3.  @chethanshajan9047  That is demonstrably not true. Adi Sankara of the 7th century establishing peeTha in the four corners of Bharat is a modern example. The idea of Bharat stretching from the Himalaya to the Indian Ocean well predates him.

  4.  @chethanshajan9047  You do realize that there is physical evidence of the Sankara PeeTha, right? Even if your analogy to Europe is correct, nobody says 'South Europe'.

  5.  @chethanshajan9047  Can you give a couple of examples of subaltern sources each from Tamilnadu, Kerala, Andhra, and UP. While you are at it, also for France, UK, and Germany, continuing with your European analogy.

  6. Please also add your opinion on saying, 'South USA'.
