The Hotak dynasty or the Hotaki dynasty was an Afghan monarchy of the Ghilji Pashtuns, established in April 1709 by Mirwais Hotak after leading a successful revolution against their declining Persian Safavids overlords in Kandahar. It lasted until 1738 when the founder of the Afsharid dynasty, Nader Shah Afshar, defeated Hussain Hotak during the long siege of Kandahar, and started the reestablishment of Iranian suzerainty over all regions lost decades before against the Iranian arch rival, the Ottomans, and the Russians. At its peak, the Hotak dynasty ruled very briefly over an area which is now Afghanistan, western Pakistan, and large parts of Iran.
In 1715, Mirwais died of a natural cause and his brother Abdul Aziz succeeded the monarchy. He was quickly followed by Mahmud who ruled the empire at its largest extent for a mere three years. Following the 1729 Battle of Damghan, where Mahmud was roundly defeated by Ashraf Hotak, Mahmud was banished to what is now southern Afghanistan with Hotak rule being confined to it. Hussain Hotak became the last ruler until he was also defeated in 1738.
The Hotak started long ago as a political family. The first king to take power in Kandahar, Afghanistan, was Mirwais Hotak (1673–1715). After his death many different Hotaks took the throne, such as Mahmud Hotak, Ashraf Hotak, and Hussain Hotak, eventually losing control.There are only some direct descendants of Mirwais Hotak. In fact only three elder ones are still alive they live in Pakistan.Direct decendant of Mirwais hotaki is NASEEBULLAH KHAN HOTAK who live in Quetta (Balochistan)and once was working for pakistan police Ex Deputy Inspector General(DIG) of Police.He has seven childerns three sons named as

Iran+ 1700-1815 (Safavid, Hotak, Afsharid, Durrani, Zand, And Qajar Empires)
Next Empire. Safavids. We see them and the rising of the Hotak's from within their domain. Then comes the replacement of Safavid rule by Afsharid rule as the great general Nader (now) Shah Afshar takes over and plunders India maybe cause he needed cash. Afsharid to dissolution, arising of the Durrani and the Zand, and finally the Qajar takeover leaves us with baited, by which I mean with little worms hanging off, breath in eager anticipation for the wonders of the coming century taking us closer to where we are right now. Speaking of, Tehran becomes the capital of Iran in this video.
