Mumbai-based writer Ranjit Hoskote has resigned from the Finding Committee for the upcoming Documenta Art Festival in Germany. The author`s decision came after he received flak over his signing of a letter which drew comparisons between Zionism and Hindutva, stated a report in PTI.

Documenta, a renowned exhibition of contemporary art occurring every five years in Kassel, Germany, is gearing up for its 16th edition scheduled for 2027. 
According to the report, Hoskote stepped down after an article appeared in German publication Süddeutsche Zeitung on November 9 accusing him of `BDS sympathies and anti-Semitism` due to his endorsement of a 2019 BDS petition against a far-right event discussing `Zionism and Hindutva,` co-hosted by the Consulate General of Israel in Mumbai.
