The correct answer is Jallianwala Bagh massacre

The correct answer is Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

He became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 for his collection of poems, Gitanjali. His work profoundly influenced Indian culture and his political views evolved over time, culminating in his symbolic protest against the Jallianwala Bagh massacre by giving up his knighthood. Tagore's renunciation of knighthood was not just a personal decision but a powerful political statement that resonated across India and demonstrated the depth of opposition to British rule following the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
