rabindranath thakur, a hindu contemporary on the other hand, repudiated knighthood with these words of personal shame, integrity, and bonding towards his hindu brothers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabindranath_Tagore#Repudiation_of_knighthood our great "sir" mard-e-momin of course probably thought of all those things as well.
