A happy Republic Day to all.
ANSWER:
X- BHARATA
Y- OFFICIAL NAME OF INDIA
Z- Bharatnatyam, although thats specious as the Bharats in both are not the same.
Bharata Natyam comes from the words Bhava (Expression), Raga (Music), Tala (Rhythm) and Natya (Classic Indian Musical Theatre).
Since it was Republic Day, i'll be generous & give full point for only Bharat/Bharata

Now on to the question
The picture below shows the extent of the kingdom of __X__, who is said to have unified the subcontinent under one kingdom.
In the Vedas, __X__ is described as follows
abhūtir eṣā kas tyajyāj jīvañ jīvantam ātmajamśākuntalaṃ mahātmānaṃ dauḥṣantiṃ bhara pauravabhartavyo 'yaṃ tvayā yasmād asmākaṃ vacanād apitasmād bhavatv ayaṃ nāmnā bharato nāma te sutaḥ
Therefore, O thou of Puru's race, cherish thy high-souled son born of __Y__and because this child is to be cherished by thee even at our word,therefore shall this thy son be known by the name of ___X___.
But others argue that the __X__ race, an Ayan tribe mentioned in the Rigveda were successful against other Aryan and Non-Aryan tribes. Thus in the post Vedic tradition, they were deemed as conquerors of all, and hence all was known as __X__.
Question:
