Anyone who lives in Mumbai how in disparaging terms people refer to ghattees. They are considered to be absolutely lazy and worthless. Indeed ghattees feel jealous when outsiders come and improve their lives by working hard, while the ghattees are not upwardly mobile. For example, who asked these Nashik factory owners to hire UP/Bihar people? Why couldn't they hire the local ghattees in the first place? The answer lies in the fact that most of the ghattees are hooked to cheap liquor and are bevdaas.
