Rabindranath Tagore renounced his knighthood to protest against the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The Jallianwala Bagh tragedy, in which British colonial forces killed hundreds of Indians who were peacefully demonstrating, prompted a response from all the leading figures of India. Tagore was particularly critical of how General Dyer was commended for his actions in the British press. In a letter to Chelmsford, Tagore stated that "the time has come" when "badges of honour make our shame glaring in the incongruous context of humiliation, and I for my part wish to stand, shorn of all special distinctions, by the side of those of my countrymen who, for their so-called insignificance, are liable to suffer a degradation not fit for human beings."
