George, aided by his brother Levan, by 1700 had reestablished the shah's sovereignty in Kerman. As a reward, George was restored to the throne of Kartli in 1703, but was not allowed to return to his country. Instead, he was soon assigned to suppress the Afghan rebellion in May 1704. He was granted the title of Gurgin Khan by the Shah and was appointed the viceroy of Kandahar province and sipah salar (commander-in-chief) of the Persian armies. While he was in the field, he entrusted the administration of his country of Kartli to a nephew, the future King Vakhtang VI. Gurgin managed to crush the revolts of Afghan tribes and ruled Kandahar with uncompromising severity. He subdued many of the local leaders and sent Mirwais Khan Hotak, a powerful chieftain of the Ghilzai Turkish in chains to Isfahan. However, Mirwais Khan managed to gain the favour of the Shah and even to arouse his suspicion against the beglarbeg. Determined to bring about the overthrow of Gurgin, Mirwais Khan staged a carefully planned coup. On April 21, 1709, when the majority of the Georgian troops under Gurgin’s nephew, Alexander, were away from Kandahar on a raid against the rebels, Mirwais invited Gurgin on a banquet at his country estate at Kokaron in Kandahar City and and asked for help to khan of kalat Mir Samandar Khan Ahmedzai Baloch. Mir Samandar Baloch came from Balochistan and killed him on mir wais request Gurgin's small escort was also massacred by baloch troops of Mir Samandar Khan Baloch and Mirwais seized power in Kandahar and thanked mir samkandar khan baloch for his valuable help
Mirwais Hotak tried to invade balochistan in October 1711 but he was Killed by khan of kalat Mir Samandar Khan Ahmedzai Baloch and his entire 30,000 Afghan forces were wiped out by the Baloch
Mir wais was Killed by Khan of Kalat Mir Samandar Khan Ahmedzai Baloch in 1711

ReplyDeleteThe owner of this blog was a Balochi. He was active on a forum which is now defunct. He spoke Balochi with another Baloch (who was not anti-Pashtun like him) and the latter verified that he is a genuine Baloch. On that forum, he informed us that he will create a blog about Pashtun history in which he will copy paste stuff from Wikipedia and will insert his own lines in it, and "stupid pathans" will accept it as facts.
