You are correct, India should be called Bharat, but not too many people would understand if we refer to India as Bharat or Bharatvarsha. Also, in my humble opinion it is more important to focus on eternal names of God rather than a temporary name of a dynasty or an emperor. Emperors and their dynasties come and go, but Lord Krishna is our Lord eternally. That is why this program is called "Krishna Culture Festival" and not "Bharat or India Culture Festival".
