Lobsang Sangay, a 43-year-old Harvard scholar, was sworn in on Monday as head of the Tibetan government in exile, replacing the Dalai Lama as the Tibetan movement's political leader.

Sangay took the oath of office at a ceremony presided over by the Dalai Lama in the Tsuglagkhang Temple -- the spiritual centre of the Indian hill town of Dharamshala, where the exiled government is based.
