What does playing the Tibet card for India entail ?
Here is one articulation
1. Speak Up. No more silence. Recognise the cause of Tibetan autonomy.
2. Reject China's claim of sovereignty over Tibet
3. Internationalise the issue of Tibetan freedom
4. Highlight the grave human rights situation in Tibet
5. Claim the Dalai Lama's legacy, back reincarnation in India
If China throws out agreements going back to 1993, India can throw out some more as well.
Late Sushma's taunt to the Chinese foreign minister in 2015 still holds.

"The Nerve, How Did They Even Think Of This?" Tibetans React To Ccp Projection Onto Potala Palace | Free Tibet | Jun 30 2021
Footage has emerged from occupied Tibet of a giant projection onto the former home of the exiled Dalai Lama by the Chinese Communist Party, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the CCP’s establishment ahead of celebrations on 1 July.
The video, taken by an unknown and clearly distressed woman, and sent outside the country at huge risk to her safety, shows words in Chinese which translate as “Celebrate the CCP's 100th founding anniversary” projected onto the Potala Palace, the Dalai Lama’s winter home until he was forced to flee Tibet from Chinese forces in 1959.

The referenced statue was in Sichuan province

Sophie Richardson, China director for New York-based Human Rights Watch, added that China’s demolition of the statue and crackdown on Tibetans sharing news of its destruction show that “religious believers cannot rely on legal or constitutional safeguards of their faith.”
China in its current phase of “ultranationalist and statist ideology gives all power to the state, and regards civil society with suspicion and contempt,” Richardson said.

Authorities said the statue's housing lacked a fire escape, but Tibetans see a crackdown on their religion.The three-story statue and the structure housing it were both torn down around the same time as the 99-foot Buddha, which authorities said was too tall, a Tibetan living in exile told RFA, citing contacts in Drago.
“Chinese authorities have again given unbelievable reasons for the destruction, saying there was no fire escape in the temple housing the three-story high statue of Maitreya Buddha, but these aren’t valid excuses,” the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity to protect his sources in Drago.
“The Chinese government is just continuing to Sinicize Tibet’s religion by not allowing Tibetans the freedom to practice their own religion and faith,” the source said.
