ba swe -lrb- , ; 17 october 1915 -- 6 december 1987 -rrb- was the second premier of burma .
he was a leading burmese politician during the decade after the country gained its independence from britain in 1948 .
he held the position of prime minister from 12 june 1956 to 28 february 1957 .
when ba swe became prime minister , `` time '' magazine reported the news in an article titled : ` the day of the tiger ' based on his nickname ` big tiger ' -lrb- `` kyah gyi '' ba swe -rrb- since his university days in the 1930s as a student leader .
his name was often paired with the name of another famous student leader as ba hein and ba swe , both `` thakins '' or members of the nationalist `` dobama asiayone '' -lrb- we burmans association -rrb- and were arrested by the british colonial government during the year of countrywide protests , demonstrations and strikes in 1938 known as the `` 1300 revolution '' -lrb- `` htaung thoun ya byei ayeidawbon '' named after the burmese calendar year -rrb- .
ba hein became a founder member of the communist party of burma -lrb- cpb -rrb- in 1939 and shortly afterwards ba swe and ba hein among others founded the people 's revolutionary party -lrb- prp -rrb- , renamed the burma socialist party after the war .
ba swe was also known for his penchant for wearing dark glasses .
