Answer 2

Rabindranath Tagore renounced his 'knighthood' in protest of the 'Jallianwala Bagh Massacre'.

EXPLANATION:

Rabindranath Tagore also tried to arrange a 'protest' meet in Calcutta to protest against the massacre.

Jallianwala Bagh Massacre took place in Amritsar on 13th April, 1919 when General Dyer opened fire at a peaceful gathering. This massacre killed 'hundreds' of people including 'women and children'.

The Jallianwala Bagh was walled on all four sides and therefore the people gathered could not escape resulting in mass killing.
