BHAT IS A MARHATTA RACE . tHE TRUE KASHMIRI 'GAUT' OR 'GOT' WHICH MEANS RACE OR CASTE IS 'BAT' which has become Butt with usage. Once they were regarded as the best of bards,singers and jugat baaz(jesters) in the world-they were a wild and nomadic clan. Many inferior races of Kashmir now have adopted this sir name and they have largely settled down in Pakistan. Some people also confuse this sir name with bhatti which is a name adopted by low class kashmiri converts of christians from hindus.
