M. U. Butt says about the surname Bhat Kahmiri butt are people indegnous to kashmir, they have nothing to do with the people with surname bhatt anywhere in india. the person mazhar butt is fake butt, he is acutally an uneducated chammar who does not know even a single word about the history of kashmir or kashmiri people. The surname butt became very poplular in anceint kashmir and there were times when the whole kashmiri pundit community was referred to as butt/bat in the predominantly muslim kashmiri villages in the kashmir valley. From old times numerous kashmiri pundits and muslims(converted) have kept butt as their surname. Butt is not merely a small clan name but at times it has been associated with bulk population of kashmiri pundits as Butt(priest) tribe in kashmir.
