Hi, Here's your answer.
Answer:
The 14th Dalai Lama is the current Dalai Lama. Dalai Lamas are important monks of the Gelug school, the newest school of Tibetan Buddhism, which was formally headed by the Ganden Tripas. Dalai Lama is currently living in McLeod Ganj. Dalai Lama begins exile. The Dalai Lama, fleeing the Chinese suppression of a national uprising in Tibet, crosses the border into India, where he is granted political asylum. ... At the beginning of the 20th century, Tibet increasingly came under Chinese control, and in 1950 communist China invaded the country.
Thanks :)
