sougatadc 358 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 Feeling proud to be someone from Shantiniketan, the place of Rabindranath. Rabindranath received Knighthood in 1915. But In 1919, he wrote the historic letter to Lord Chelmsford repudiating his Knighthood in protest of the massacre at Jalianwalabag, Punjab. Thence, 'Sir' is not used with his name.
