The Hotaks were supported by Qizilbash to invade Persia because of Georgians

Empire ethnic

[edit]

Idk about people who keep labelling this empire as a simple empire without acknowledging the Hotaks empire was fundamentally a Pashtun empire, based on pashtun culture and the pashtunwali. Refer from changing this fact please

Also regarding persian as the langauge of the Hotaki empire is wrong. It was again a pashtun empire with pashto as its langaue..persian was more likely to be the regional language of Kandaharwhen the safavid captured Kandahar

However the empire ; the Hotakis was a pashtun empire and therefore its important to acknowlege that Pashtunfacts (talk) 15:52, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yawn, show sources for your claims or leave this article alone. No one is calling this dynasty a Persian one or whatever you want to call it. Sources simply call the dynasty 'Afghan' generally, not 'Pashtun'. Heck, it's called Afghanistan today, not Pashtunistan. Stop these disruptive edits; dont. change. sourced. information. --HistoryofIran (talk) 16:17, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi i dont think you understand but this historically was a a pashtun empire. There only afghan at that time and bistorically were the pashtuns. In fact hotaki is a major pashtun tribe . No need to change ethnic hiwtory based on nationaity stop the distruptive edits Pashtunfacts (talk) 13:45, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't think you understand that this isn't a forum where you can rant and try to impose your own personal opinion on others. Again, show sources for your claims or leave this article alone. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:24, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These arent personal opinions. I dont think you understand the history of afghanistan especially regarding the concerning fact that your from iran and not Afghanistan. You many have not studied Afghanistans history and its a fact that the Hotaks were Pashtuns. No need to rant about it and impose your iranian supremecy on other Afghans or Pashtuns. One last warning otherwise you will be blocked

Stop Removing the Correct Hotak Map

[edit]

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_The_Hotakids.png Can IP addresses please stop adding this map and saying it's "the correct map of the Hotaks" when it isn't? This map is extremely inaccurate and should be removed. The person who made this map listed no sources whatsoever and completely drew made up borders.

1. Balkh and Afghan Turkestan weren't ever conquered by the Hotaks, The Bukharan Crisis: A Connected History of 18th Century Central Asia and The "Ancient Supremacy": Bukhara, Afghanistan and the Battle for Balkh, 1731-1901 illustrate this. It was controlled by Bukharan Chinggisids who made their own independent state in 1702 seperate from the Bukhara Khanate.

2. Kabul, Ghazni and most of Eastern Afghanistan was a mughal province at this time and never conquered by the Hotaks. The only source at all that says that Kabul was conquered by the Hotaks is Persia in Crisis: Safavid Decline and the Fall of Isfahan and no other source corroborates this. In reality, the Hotaks never conquered Kabul-The Afsharids did in a 1738 campaign.

3. Balochistan was ruled by Independent chieftains who constantly warred with the Hotaks. Nasser Dashti's book on the history of Balochistan gives a pretty detailed account of their wars.

4. Herat was ruled by Afghans, but a different kind of Afghan-The Sadozai Sultanate of Herat that also constantly fought with the Hotaks. Christine Noelle-Karimi and Sajjad Netajie's studies on Herat are good sources for this and is further corroborated by other sources for this period like Astarabadi, Lockhart, and Axworthy.

5. Khorasan was ruled by independent chieftains dominated by one Malek Mahmoud Sistani, entirely out of the sphere of Afghan rule. The Cambridge History of Iran Volume 7 and Axworthy give good accounts of the turmoil prevailing in that region at the time. Lockhart also provides substantial info.

6. Mazandaran, Astarabad, southwest Iran, and much of the countryside of Iraq-e Ajam and Fars were controlled by Safavid loyalists or other Safavid pretenders. The Dutch East India Company records give good information on this. The Hotaks gradually took the surrounding area of Isfahan by 1725 but much of Iraq e Ajam was outside their control. Southern Iran was subdued by 1728 but even then they didn't control the coastal regions.

7. There was a split in 1725 and Ashraf Hotak never established his rule over Kandahar province, which was ruled by Hussain Hotak.

btw the source containing the dutch east india company records is The Afghan Occupation of Persia 1721-1729 by Willem Floor

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mapofthehotaks1728.png this map is much more accurate. Kailanmapper (talk) 01:34, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey so, Noorullah here, I wanted to say that I am a fan and I love your work, so about the Kabul part, I heard Afghan rebels had specifically separated from that region from some sources rather then the hotaks actually sending men to dispatch and capture the region, not saying you are wrong or anything but that is just what I heard from a while back, thank you for the map though it really clears up a lot, especially the old inaccurate map. Noorullah21 (talk)

I am pinging the involved users in the hope of engagement User: 2A02:908:1511:71C0:5DA4:3E5A:777D:8509, User:94.220.113.244, User:2A01:C23:7554:3500:5DA4:3E5A:777D:8509.

For you User:Kailanmapper, you did good by creating a talk, keep in mind that if there’s a dispute like this on WP you have to open a talk as the one wanting to change the article and facing opposition and you should refrain from reverting before there’s any consensus here on this page. I will perhaps join the discussion in a few weeks since I am too busy currently Xerxes1985 (talk) 00:13, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As far as what Noorullah said, I haven't heard that in any of my sources such as https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/52412, https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/302375, and http://prr.hec.gov.pk/jspui/bitstream/123456789/10454/1/Sumaira_History_HSR_2018_UoP_Peshawar_PRR.pdf although i suppose you have info I do not. Can you provide me the source/s that you heard that from? If the source seems good, then I guess I'll have to update the map. Now for Xerxes1985, I understand now thanks for clarifying. I do believe that this map is severely inaccurate though, and if nobody will look thorugh my sources I will send screenshots and quotes from them to further prove my point. The map is wrong and the person who created it, ArabHafez didn't even bother to give a reliable source. Kailanmapper (talk) 00:34, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will lay out all my points against this map again, and I will wait for User: 2A02:908:1511:71C0:5DA4:3E5A:777D:8509, User:94.220.113.244, User:2A01:C23:7554:3500:5DA4:3E5A:777D:8509 to refute my claims with evidence .

1. The map is unsourced. By definition, this means that it violates Wikipedia's verifiability guidelines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability) and thus should be removed. Yet it keeps being added to this article even though it's unsourced and inaccurate. Can you please specify your sources to prove that it is accurate and add sources to the map? Because with the evidence currently available, it is clear as day that this map has made up borders. 2. Again, Balkh and Kabul weren't under Hotak rule. For the Mughal province of Kabul I already sent links to (although Noorullah might have info contradicting the claim on the Mughals, however he has yet to share the sources), but multiple sources say that Balkh was under independent Chinggisids. Besides the two I already mentioned, the UNESCO book on the History of Civilizations of Central Asia (specifically the bukhara chapter https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000130205) contains useful information on it. There was never a Hotak Campaign to Balkh. 3. Herat was ruled by Abdali Sultans independent of Hotak rule. Multiple sources express this. Pages 212-285 of https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/handle/1807/80750, The Afsharid section of The Pearl in It's Midst by Christine Noelle-Karimi, the final Chapter of Persia in Crisis: Safavid Decline and the Fall of Isfahan, countless other sources, and even Encyclopedia Brittanica lists this. "Mīr Vays Khan governed Kandahār until his death in 1715. In 1716 the Abdālīs (Durrānī) of Herāt, encouraged by his example, took up arms against the Persians and under their leader, Asad Allāh Khan, succeeded in liberating their province." Here's a screenshot from "The Sword of Persia: Nader Shah": https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/736324802557640826/868945954898845737/Screen_Shot_2021-07-25_at_3.57.59_PM.png 4. Practially every source mentions this, but Khorasan was ruled by independent chieftains dominated by Malek Mahmoud Sistani. Read Cambridge History of iran volume 7, lockhart (https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.236028/page/n13/mode/2up) and axworthy books on nader shah for more info, also there's already a wikpedia article on this which further proves my point about how inaccurate the map is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khorasan_Campaign 5. Hotak control in iran is over-extended. Multiple sources, including Lockhart's source, say that Astarabad was ruled by Fath-Ali Khan Qajar and he had no affiliation with the Hotaks and was in fact a Safavid ally. From the Dutch East India Company records they tell us that the Hotaks took a long time to conquer southern iran 9shiraz fell on april 14, 1723 but bandar abbas, kerman, and yazd were only conquered in 1727-1728). The coast was controlled by independent arab tribes who were beyond the sphere of Hotak influence. 6. Again, Balochistan was independent from Hotak rule. Look through Nasser Dashti's book on balochistan and read the Kalat Khanate article. I seriously doubt the availability of info that proves the map is accurate but I will wait anyway Kailanmapper (talk) 20:37, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Noorullah here. So, I don't have any source unfortunately, I had lost it a while back but I just wanted to let you know what I heard of. I do not believe it may have been an accurate source seeing what you have provided as well as of now. I appreciate you checking to my concern over the map though. Noorullah21 (talk)

Also, I have a request, after you are done with perhaps your Hotak part editing toward Persia, could you also go toward the Durrani Empire? I believe there is some contempts of inaccurate borders in some places there such as vassals being included in the main empire under its land, or whatnot, what I am specifically looking for is a map of the Durranis after Ahmad Shah's Death, so 1772, a 1774 map would be nice as well. Noorullah21 (talk)

Ah I see, that's unfortunate. I could make a 1772 map of the Durranis, however not at this moment as I am busy doing other things. Kailanmapper (talk) 14:52, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, thank you. Noorullah21

Hey User:Kailanmapper, so Noorullah here, somebody seems to keep reverting your edits so I would just like to tell you about that, I will revert back to the edits you made. -Noorullah21

Thank you, Noorullah. I think I can make a 1772 map of the Durrani Empire tomorrow by the way. Kailanmapper (talk) 22:35, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, also that would be very nice, thank you, if you have finished it link me to it User:Kailanmapper. Noorullah21 (talk) 22:43, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies for not informing you earlier, but I am currently looking through sources to make the map. it should be done in a few days.Kailanmapper (talk) 17:18, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank you. Noorullah21 (talk) 02:42, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also people keep removing your map, reverted the person who did it again, this keeps traversing into an edit war now. Noorullah21 (talk) 16:42, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for restoring the correct version. Again, sorry I didn't notify you earlier but I'm having trouble trying to find the borders of the Durrani with the Sikhs so it wil take me a bit before I have finally figured out the Sikh Misls. Kailanmapper (talk) 23:50, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kailanmapper Ok thank you, and yeah the general period of Sikh Misl borders around that time is very hard to determine. From what I know the Sikhs captured Multan in the same year in an offensive but Timur Shah Durrani had stopped it. Noorullah21 (talk) 20:10, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kailanmapper, Shah Hussain Hotak did conquer Kalat state and Derajat [1]. Naseer Dashti's is a garbage book. . User:Parinda 8888

User:Parinda 8888, the source you cited isn't reliable at all, read Wikipedia:Rs. I looked through https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.38715/ (Old colonial sources like that generally aren't the most accurate of things and although it probably has some things accurate at Wikipedia we try and use modern sources with scholarly concensus.) and i will say that Hussain Hotaki wouldn't have been able to maintain much control over Balochistan. The chieftains of Balochistan acted quite independently to any external forces and it seems like their control would have been more nominal than anything else honestly. So some Baloch chieftains might have submitted but they barely recognize Hotak rule and act independent, causing another Hotak campaign to Balochistan to keep them in line. Maybe the early 1737 Hotak campaign to Balochistan that Naseer Dashti mentioned was Hussain Hotak's attempt to do such a thing. I wonder why he didn't mention the 1733 campaign but whatever, information on Balochistan is already scarce. I will say though, the Baluch did ally with the Afghans to raid the provinces of Kerman, Lar, and Bandar Abbas but allies doesn't mean that the Baluch were part of the Hotaki Empire. Also this supposed campaign was after 1728-29 so it shouldn't be included on the map anyway. Also this is your first contribution to Wikipedia, you're probably Azad Ghilji's sockpuppet. Be smarter next time when making sockpuppets bruh. Kailanmapper (talk) 00:47, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kailanmapper, I saw the new map of Hotak empire and was wondering whats going on so I opened the talk section and came across your references from a garbage source like Naseer Dashti. I have read that book. Its poorly cited and has lot of made-up info. He often cites Mir Gul Naseer but that book itself lacks citations and bibliography. Just because a book is published in recent times, does not mean it has valid information. Since you are placing so much trust in Naseer Dashti's book, lets test it. Tell me, which primary source Naseer Dashti has utilized for his claim that Ghilzai army "reduced" Mastung and "devastated" the surrounding areas of Kalat in 1737?. He is citing "Naseer, 1979". That Naseer is Mir Gul Khan Naseer who wrote Tarikh i Balochistan (its in Urdu) which is totally void of citations and has no bibliography at all. User:Parinda 8888

A lot of the information in Naseer Dashti's book is actually pretty accurate and correlates with other sources (like a local manuscript on the khans of kalat correlates with a lot of the information in Naseer Dashti's book). I know that just because a book is published in recent times doesn't mean it has valid information. But this isn't one of those sources. I can't find any online copy of his Tarikh i Balochistan so I can't confirm or deny what you said but Mir Gul Khan Naseer seems like a reliable source and apparantly contributed a lot to Balochistan. SO I would say he's trustworthy (and more reliable than your source), take this to the Wikipedia:Reliable sources noticeboard if you disagree.

Kailanmapper Hey so Noorullah here, I think there needs to be some additions to your hotak empire map, under one of my sources by elphistone where he documented Afghan history from the 900's-1880's, he mentions that the Hotaks fought the persians farther out then your extented borders that you have, such as Farah in Afghanistan. Check here on page 240: https://www.google.ca/books/edition/History_of_Afghanistan/0ec2AQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover Noorullah21

Oh hey, I've heard of that before. One of my sources made an analysis of that conflict between the Hotaks and Abdalis though. It basically went like this:
1715 Hotaks briefly invade Farah
1716: Sadozai Sultanate of Herat is formed and takes Farah
July 29 1717: Abdalis defeat Safavids near Ghourian, then besiege Mashhad in September, after a month they abandon the siege and then plunder villages near Nishapur before returning to Herat
late 1717-early 1718: At the Battle of Delaram the Ghilzais defeat the Abdalis and (temporarily) take Farah
Noelle-Karimi's research contradicts what Elpinstone writes in his book. And I'm more inclined to trust Noelle-Karimi as opposed to Elpinstone. As Noelle-Karimi states, it was unlikely that Asad Allah actually tried to occupy Farah. It's more likely he was defending it from an invasion of the Ghilzais, "given that Asad Allāh had been campaigning a few months earlier in Khurasan and was not in a position to launch an invasion of Qandahar."[2] To be fair, it does say that it enabled the Ghilzais to take control of Farah. But it seems like that was only a temporary occupation. I say this because later during the Abdali Civil Wars (1722-1732) Farah was mentioned as the base of some of the contenders. During Nader's campaigns to the region Farah was mentioned as an Abdali stronghold, so more likely than not it was a temporary occupation and thats' why I didn't show Farah as part of the Hotak realm. Edit: I just realized I kept calling George Bruce Malleson Elpinstone for some reason, I'm such an ahmagh.Kailanmapper (talk) 12:38, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hotak map

[edit]

@Kashmiri Refer to WP:DRNC as well. Noorullah21 (talk) 17:08, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kashmiri There is multiple sources that point to this being the correct Hotak map, with multiple sources used.
(here is the account from Kailan)
1. Balkh and Afghan Turkestan weren't ever conquered by the Hotaks, The Bukharan Crisis: A Connected History of 18th Century Central Asia and The "Ancient Supremacy": Bukhara, Afghanistan and the Battle for Balkh, 1731-1901 illustrate this.

It's not about whose version is right. It's to protect the reader from potentially unreliable information that changes dramatically every few hours.

It is totally self made and against wiki rules. Hope someone takes notice soon.It Undermines wikipedias credibility.84.211.45.132 (talk) 19:27, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
How is the map POV? what your stating is easily applicable to the other maps you just want to revert to. The point you are making makes little sense. Noorullah21 (talk) 15:39, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No it is POV. Other maps are taken from reliable sources, not self made.84.211.45.132 (talk) 17:38, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What reliable sources point toward the Hotaks owning Kabul, Balkh, Herat? Noorullah21 (talk) 22:44, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Final point, just search hotak dynasty / or hotak dynasty map- ALL -of them show the old map. Not a single show the new map. point taken?84.211.45.132 (talk) 10:33, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That is not proving a point, it is just basing a map off what they first saw, provide actual academic sources that contribute to your point, because I sure can. Noorullah21 (talk) 15:31, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
:So you are telling me all those books, articles ,sides are wrong and your -home made- map is the reliable source? If that is the case i can make a different map for all empires and post it on wikipedia? Thats NOT how the academic world works dear.

I can keep posting all day, but i guess i made my point. I have yet to come to -ANY- source that shows your map.84.211.45.132 (talk) 16:33, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Everything you provided here is not academic sources, in fact, you seemed to miss the point on where it should be SOURCES, not content from video games, or random blog articles. Here are some actual sources..:
The Fall of the Safavi Dynasty and the Afghan Occupation of Persia by Laurence Lockhart
The Afghan Occupation of Safavid Persia 1721-1729 by Willem Floor
Articles from Encyclopedia Iranica
History of the Wars 1721-1738 by Abraham of Erevan and translated by George A. Bournoutian
The Chronicles of a Traveller: Or, A History of the Afghan Wars with Persia by Tadeusz Judas Krusiński Noorullah21 (talk) 00:51, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
NO! you missed everything all together . We are talking about----MAPS---- not articles which i can provide many. i repeat Show me a MAP84.211.45.132 (talk) 11:12, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We are talking about actual sources..? Academic sources? If you do not want to take this dispute seriously, then that is your fault, and the content will remain the same, because it is meant to remain the same. Noorullah21 (talk) 16:37, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think either you are willing acting like that or have serious english issues. We are discussing the MAP here not the DOCUMENTS. And NO you cant make map in your bedroom and post it on wikipedia- told you before. And no it have to go back to its original historical, academical --ESTABLISHED- correct map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.211.45.132 (talk) 17:18, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Though i don't have to because it is not related to the discussion, but i will still you provide you source that herat and north Afghanistan (mazar by that time was a minor town after mongol invasions hence not mentioned in many documents) is EXPLICITLY mentioned after the recaptured by Durrani Afghans and nader shah. I thought you might know about this famous battle and- ottoman hotaki wars in north west persia but any way...

You actually provided a source, which is what I am talking about.. Anyway, in your source, nowhere does it mention the Hotaks ever taking Herat, the only thing it does mention is that the Afghans were defeated AT HERAT, but this was not referring to the Hotak Dynasty, this is referring to the Sadozai Sultanate of Herat, you can read up on its battles as well in List of wars involving Afghanistan.
The Ottoman Hotaki Wars in north west persia took place in 1726-1727, and there was only one specific battle in this war, the battle took place at Khorramabad, which is not in north west Persia. You can read on this further at Ottoman-Hotaki War (1726-1727)
Please read into your source before trying to use it against me, it does not state anywhere that the Hotaks took Herat, heck, it did not even mention the Hotaks taking Kabul, or any of the other cities implicated on..your map that you are trying to defend.
"you cant make map in your bedroom and post it on wikipedia", First of all, I didn't make the map, second, thats literally the exact same case of the old map? Noorullah21 (talk) 18:56, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In no historical source, does it attribute to the Hotak dynasty taking these claimed cities, all you have shown me, are literally blog sites, video game sites, as your main prefactured sources, and when you tried to bring up a historical source against me, it didn't even back up your loose claims on how the former map is correct. Noorullah21 (talk) 18:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is the last (reliable) source i am giving you. Actually you proved my point and surprised me in the process of not knowing. With you its going no where hope some one intervene or the wikipedias image will -furthur damege.

The other source you just provided me, also literally contradicts your point, it literally says that Mirwais was centred in what is now, modern Kandahar province, in SOUTH AFGHANISTAN, NOWHERE does it say that the Hotaks ever took Herat, in the two sources that you provided to me. In your second source, it refers to "northern sunni-based afghan communities", referring to the Abdalis, and the Sadozai Sultanate of Herat, which TOOK Herat in 1717, it even says it in Mahmud Hotak's page. "In 1720, Mahmud and the Ghiljis defeated the rival ethnic Pashtun tribe of the Abdalis (now called the Durranis) However, Mahmud had designs on the Persian empire itself."
The Hotaki Dynasty never took Herat, the closest they ever got was an expedition to Farah, a city far south. Herat was ruled by the Sadozai Sultanate of Herat.
"Actually you proved my point and surprised me in the process of not knowing.", How did I prove your point? both of your sources did not say the Hotaks took Kabul. Noorullah21 (talk) 21:32, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My LAST POST-OPEN YOUR EYES THIS TIME, This is what the source says in -English.

"Encouraged by this action sunni based Afghan communities in the north of the country,joined the uzbeks in 1717---AND NOW UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF MAHMUD HOTAK---also threw off thier shia based safavid overlords".

Now if you dont understand this ,hopefully some other contributer will,. bye bye84.211.45.132 (talk) 22:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I literally just responded to your statement, it was about the Sadozai Sultanate of Herat, refer to WP:ICANTHEARYOU, and don't ignore previous points brought up.. Noorullah21 (talk) 01:53, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Map issue

[edit]

I have noticed that Persians, editiors are corrupting the map. While I provided contemporary sources about the map of the empire. They ignored it and push their own agenda map, falsifying history. According to "an account of the kingdom of caubul" they Hotaks had all of Persia under their rule. So, please if you can't provide a source for your made up map, than stop pushing your nonsense. This is an educational website not a propaganda one. Afghan.Records (talk) 13:59, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You got reverted by your countryman [1] and the map [2] is by your countryman as well. Anyhow, the background of others are of ultimately no relevance; don't bring up the backgrounds of other people and unsubstantiated theories (WP:NPA and WP:ASPERSIONS). Not only did you not cite your "source" properly (WP:CITE), but Mountstuart Elphinstone is not WP:RS either, see WP:PRIMARY and WP:AGE MATTERS. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:11, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
