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.

Working hard.UP/Biharis hardly work.If they are so hard-working,why do they have to leave their sick mother(UP/Bihar) and migrate.Bcoz they are incapable of nursing her back to good health.Hard work never goes waste.The hard work that you want credit for can only be called exploitation where industrialists in Maharashtra take advantage of.Pay them a pittance and get them to work for 14-16 hours daily.This only widens the gap between the haves and have nots.And employin cheap labour makes business sense.And the fact that they are being conveniently expolited does not register in the minds of the nincompoop UP/Biharwallas,who feel their 'Hard Work' is appreciated.
