Azubowan! Vazakkam! Namazthey! We are now Tamizh Eezham Pvt Ltd!

(July 04, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) When nothing works, why not try a name change? Bankrupted businesses try this stunt sometimes, in the hope that ill winds would change yielding better fortunes in future.

And what better example of a bankrupted business than the business of the Liberation of Tamil Tigers of Eelam Pvt Ltd?

Hounded through out the world, vilified in every country, scorned and despised in their own motherland, this sinking ship called LTTE has suddenly decided to order a fresh coat of paint! Thus the pie in the sky named Tamil Eelam has suddenly metamorphosed in to a tongue twister called “Tamizh Eezham”. One wonders who is advising Sun God in this re-branding and re-launching of Tamizh Eezham.


During the times of President R. Premadasa, similar antics were performed to convert the “Sri” in to a “Shri” upon the advice of his entourage of pet astrologers. Not only name change, it is rumored that President Premadasa shaved his eye brows and got a cold shower from seven clay pots, water being poured upon him by seven virgins! Ultimately, not even a name change or virgin showers could prevent President Premadasa being blown to smithereens. Is it fate of the man who killed President Premadasa to take the exact path which President Premadasa took during his last days or what?

If the self appointed Sole Rep of Tamils thinks this “Z” stunt will perk up his flagging fortunes, both in the military and political fronts, then he’s got another thought coming soon. Crunched pathetically between the Sri Lanka Army and the Deep Blue Sea, ably guarded by Commander Wasantha Karannagoda’s men, with no help from any quarters and no hope in sight, the Sole Rep fortunes are going nowhere but down south.

Thus this piteous and almost childish clutch at a straw called “Z” is understandable for a man desperate for a breather of good luck. Just as a name change and other astrologer advised antics didn’t change President Premadasa’s luck, neither will the same methodology help his murderer who now lives shivering inside a 40 foot deep hole.

The once mighty Sun God is now frantically searching for better Stars to change his misfortunes. In fact, in his dependency for better stars at this moment of desperation, the mindless worshippers in his Eelamic colony would probably change his name from “Sun God” to “Zun God”.

Who knows, perhaps better luck would follow “Zun God”……

There are actually legal reasons. A smart lawyer can use an argument that Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and Liberation Tigers of Tamizh Eezham are two different entities: one organization has been banned in 34 countries; one has not...
