Ms Marvel (spoilers)

[Nikosandros]

The exiles may dominate the local world, but if those weaker inhabitants really are so weak, you can be sure the exiles won't be able to use them in any significant way to return to power. It would be like exiling Napoleon to an island populated by nothing but macaques. As superior as Napoleon might be, he's not turning those macaques into a formidable army with which to return to power.

... and now I have this image of Napoleon making his triumphant Rentrée in Paris together with the Old Guard macaques grognards.

I thought Najma was talking about being exiled from whatever other dimension she and her fellow djinn originally came from. The flashback we saw at the start of episode 3 indicated it took place in 1942, so I don't think the Partition has anything to do with the Clandestines' exile. It is relevant to Aisha's disappearance, though.

Yes, I think that it is pretty clear that they are talking about an inter-dimensional exile.

Oh, another thing I noticed: in the flashback, when the Clan Destines were digging through the rubble in the temple, they found the bangle on a blue severed hand. Which of course indicates some relation to the Kree.

Does it, though? Why would a Kree have a magic bangle with Arabic and/or Urdu writing on it?

There are other aliens with blue skin. For all we know, the djinn are naturally blue-skinned, just like Aladdin's genie.

That said, as I mentioned upthread, including some Kree could be a way to tie Ms Marvel into Captain Marvel's story better for the upcoming The Marvels movie, which I expect will take place in outer space for at least part of its runtime (given that Monica, who is also going to be in the movie, was last seen being summoned to outer space to meet with Nick Fury at the end of WandaVision).

For being the wrong religion. The partition of the British colony into India and Pakistan was along non-Muslim/Muslim lines. Between 10 and 20 million people were displaced.

I believe the statement was about exile from the Noor Dimension, not India.

Could (and probably does) indicate Kree, but could also indicate the god Shiva. Vishnu is also depicted with blue skin. Blue powder is used on the body for celebrations.

The bangle could easily be some version of the negabands…

 

[pukunui]

I don’t know what those are.

Chiss?

That definitely came to mind for me as well as soon as I saw the blue skin on the arm.
