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.
