But I've just seen too much casteism, too much racism, too much sexism, too much homophobia (which, what? Hinduism is like the least homophobic religion in the world, and yet here they are...), and too much communalism from them.

I'll say it: Shiv Sena are Nazis in saffron. RSS are Nazi-sympathizers in saffron. If the only holdouts are West Bengal, Goa, and the Northeast, then that's where I pin my hopes for the future.
