Style Bhais of Kutch Part 4:
Cement Worker.


You can take a Kutch man off grazing and farming but you can't take the style gene out of him. Even when he wears Dabbang Ready Wanted clothes or rubber finger protection for the rough day at work, he does it with his own Tashan.

Kutch is full of limestone deposits, dotted with ports and is close to oil and gas rich middle-east. It's also dotted with huge cement plants and it's taking the young ones off the land and making them do hard labour. Animal raising and farming is a 24/7 job. Working as a casual labourer in a cement or any other factories pays you a little less but it's a job with fewer responsibilities and risk.
