Mir Ways ibn Shah 'Alam,[1] also known as Mirwais Khan Hotak (Pashto/Dari: ميرويس خان هوتک; 1673-1715)[2] was an Afghan ruler from the Ghilji tribe of Pashtuns[3][4] of Kandahar, Afghanistan, and the short-lived founder of the Hotak dynasty.[5]
In 1709, after overthrowing and assassinating George XI of Kartil, the Safavid Persian governor, Hotak declared independence of the Loy Kandahar region, now southern Afghanistan.[6] Hotak is widely known as Mīrwais Nīkə (ميرويس نيکه) or Mīrwais Bābā (ميرويس بابا)—"Mirwais the Grandfather" in Pashto.[7][8]
