Min translation: Ramdev of Yoga fame calls Hindus as fools, oppressors, sexindulgents and insults the title of 1008 of sect Gurus. In retort, Hindu organisations like Bajrang Dal burn his effigy and further warn him that if can be promoted; so, he can be demoted.

I was puzzled by this report, since it doesn't match what I found.
In fact I got hold of three books by Swami Ramdev, one on pranayama, one on Yoga and other on Ayurveda. These seem to be the ones that are selling the most.
In these books, he is not only very pro sanatana dharma but also comes through as a strong nationalist.
It would have been good if the controversial book's name was mentioned. But neither the name was mentioned nor any actual quotes were given.
I suspect it is like the Maharshi Dayanand (founder of Arya Samaj) effect. He was very critical of many rituslidtic aspects of hinduism in practice, but that didn't mean he wasn't a great hindu.
Lets not be too eager to criticize Baba Ramdev yet. He seems to be doing a lot of good work. He is also very vocal, which means he will make many enemies. But before jumping to conclusions it is better to inform ourselves more about him.
