Rabindranath Tagore renounced his knighthood in 1919 in protest against the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar, where British troops killed hundreds of unarmed Indian civilians. He felt that the British government's actions went against his beliefs in humanity and freedom, leading him to return the title of 'Sir.'
