A Harvard-trained legal scholar was sworn in last Monday as new head of the Tibetan government-in-exile, taking over from the Dalai Lama as the official leader of his people's fight for freedom.
Sangay is the first and Best secular figure to ever lead the deeply Religious Tibetan Community. Sangay was born in the eastern Indian town of Darjeeling and has never visited Tibet. China has rejected his legitimacy and refuses to negotiate with Sangay. It would be almost unthinkable for him to veer from the policies set by the revered Dalai Lama. And because he was only chosen by the tiny fraction of Tibetans abroad during April elections. It is difficult for him to claim he represents all his people.
