The Hotak (Template:Lang-ps) or Hotaki (هوتکي) is a tribe of the Ghilji confederacy of the Pashtun people.[1][2] The Hotak started centuries ago as a political family. The first king to take power in Kandahar, Afghanistan, was Mirwais Hotak (1673–1715).[3] After his death many different Hotaks took the throne, such as Mahmud Hotak, Ashraf Hotak, and Hussain Hotak, eventually losing control.
