Ah.
I finished When Dimple Met Rishi a few minutes ago, and I am just ruminating. This is not a review or anything like that. But if you must know: I thought it was a well-written piece of art. 
It was quite obvious that the author, Sandhya Menon, was personally acquainted with the struggles of being a non-white immigrant in the United States. 
What struck me most about this book (you know what…maybe this is a review?)…
As I was saying, what struck me most about this book is a statement that Rishi makes about Christianity always being the default in the United States. You know, Easter holidays, Christmas holidays, Christian-ese words interwoven into day-to-day speech. 
Basically, Rishi was saying that Christianity is the majority. And other religions, like Hinduism in Rishi’s case, are in the minority. 
If you are a Christian and you are reading, I am willing to bet $5 that your initial reaction was, “No, it is not!” And you are probably ready to start listing instances where Christians have been persecuted, and ….yeah.
Well, I am a Christian, so I get it. 
Here’s the thing: Rishi is right, technically. We’ve all heard about WASP, right? The White Anglo-Saxon Protestants who were (and still are, for the most part) at the top of the social food chain. 
See how somehow Christianity is roped into that title?
So whenever people talk about “the Guy,” “the Man,” the “society” they are rebelling against, Christianity is always, unfortunately yet unmistakably, there.
Well, I hate it. 
Because if all the WASPs truly embodied what it meant to be a Christian, there wouldn’t even be a WASP. Does that make sense?
Like if they truly were Christians, would they not be known for their love instead of their exclusivity? Would they not be known for Jesus rather than for jewels? (some good old-fashioned alliteration for you)

So, really?
Christianity, in the true sense of the word, is not in the majority.
Heck, we are in the minority – actually, the worst kind of minority: The minority that everyone thinks is the majority, so when they raise their voices to be heard, they are shut down, because no one wants to hear anything the privileged princesses have to say. 

Rishi’s statement hurt because it rings true of a trend I have noticed of late.
The Lord Jesus Christ, in His unassuming humility, has somehow become the Man; 
I hate it, but I don’t have to defend the Lord’s honor. He is quite capable of doing that Himself.

​ I just wanted you to know, dear reader, that being a Christian is more than a title. It’s about loving Jesus. **Picture pulled from: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28458598-when-dimple-met-rishi
