Isn't Bhat pronounced the same as Butt? Or is it pronounced like a baseball bat?@fakhre mirpur @engineer saad @IrbiS wajsal

Do u guys know the origin of caste name butt.
Well we all know its called bhat in kashmir valley and its short for bhatyachaya.
Well many butts had migrated down to punjab prov for trade pre 47. so pre 47 dont know exactly which year ,brits had held sub continent census. So in that census to differentiate between kashmir valley bhats and punjab bhats they used word butts for punjab settled bhats and since then the name came in use .
I think its another crude intervention by brits and butts shudnt have adopted it as their names and gone back to original bhat.
Once upon a time a brilliant idea came to a disgruntled Old Man who was sitting on his front porch scolding his sons for failing their matric examinations for the 3rd time in a row. To teach his sons a lesson in knowing the value of learning the English language he went to the registrar's office and had his son's surnames changed to Butt. It was only decades later when the first English dictionary came to Kashmir did people realize what the Old Man had done but by that time it was already too late !
You can ask @Gufi and he'd attest to what I've written as He is well versed in the folklore of our people !
So Armstrong, did you learn the lesson and pass your matric examinations?
