Rowlett act
Correct Answer :
Jallianwalla Bagh Massacre
Solution
Rabindranath Tagore renounced his Knighthood in protest of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, which occurred on April 13, 1919, in Amritsar when British troops under General Dyer fired on a peaceful, unarmed gathering, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Indians. Deeply disturbed by this brutal act and the oppressive policies of British rule, Tagore chose to give up his Knighthood, which he had received in 1915, as a powerful statement against colonial injustices and to express solidarity with the Indian people.
