Answer

(I) is true but (II) is false

Explanation — Statement (I) is true because Rabindranath Tagore renounced his knighthood in 1919 to express the sorrow, pain and anger of the nation after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

Statement (II) is false because Tagore did not renounce his knighthood in protest against the Partition of Bengal. His act was a protest against the brutal massacre at Jallianwala Bagh, not against the partition.

So, Statement (I) is true and Statement (II) is false.
