Correct Answer: Rabindranath Tagore


Solution : The correct answer is Rabindranath Tagore .

The Indian personality who was given knighthood by the British monarch but later returned it in protest against the Jallianwala Bagh massacre was Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore, a renowned poet, writer and philosopher, was awarded the knighthood in 1915 for his literary contributions. However, in 1919 , following the tragic Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar, where British troops killed hundreds of unarmed civilians, Tagore renounced his knighthood as a gesture of protest against British policies in India.
