Which Indian personality was given knighthood by the British monarch but it was returned by him after the Jallianwala massacre?
Rabindranath Tagore
The correct answer is Rabindranath Tagore.
In the context of the Indian independence movement, returning British honours was a way for Indians to express their solidarity with the victims of British repression and to challenge the legitimacy of British rule. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre was a turning point because of its brutality and the subsequent official response, which many found inadequate or even defensive of the actions taken. Tagore's decision resonated with many Indians and highlighted the moral chasm between the British administration and the aspirations of the Indian people.
