Tripura CM mistakenly says Tagore gave up Nobel Prize
Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb on Wednesday mistakenly said that Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore rejected the Nobel Prize in protest against the British government. However, Tagore had renounced his British knighthood in protest against the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 and it remained with him until his death in 1941.
