    • Rabindranath Tagore, the renowned poet and Nobel laureate, renounced his knighthood in 1919 as a protest against the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre.

    Information Booster :-

    • The Chauri Chaurah incident occurred in 1922, when a mob of protesters set fire to a police station in Chauri Chaurah, Uttar Pradesh, killing 22 policemen. This event led Mahatma Gandhi to call off the Non-Cooperation Movement.
    • Bhagat Singh, along with his associates, was executed by the British government in 1931. While Tagore was an opponent of British rule, his renouncement of knighthood occurred earlier, in 1919.
    • The Kakori Conspiracy of 1925 involved a train robbery by revolutionaries aiming to seize arms and funds. Though significant in the Indian freedom struggle.
