उत्तर
Ravindranath Tagore gave up his title (Sir) because he wished to criticise the ‘Jalianwala Bagh Massacre’.
Explanation:
The Satyagraha struggle against the Rowlatt Act took a violent turn in Punjab. On 13 April 1919, thousands of people gathered for a meeting at Jallianwala Bagh on the occasion of Baisakhi. General Dyer opened fire without any prior warning on the crowd, which was unaware of the ban on public meetings. Hundreds of people were killed, and over a thousand were injured in this firing. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre caused a wave of anger across the whole of India.
