in a land called Afghanistan, there was a brave and wise man named Mirwais Hotak. He was born in the year 1673 in a city called Kandahar. Mirwais belonged to the Hotak tribe, which was part of the Pashtun people.

In those days, Afghanistan was ruled by the Persian Empire, led by a king called the Shah. The Persian rulers were very powerful, but they were not always fair to the people of Afghanistan. Mirwais Hotak wanted to change this and make his land free.

Mirwais was very smart and knew a lot about politics and leadership. He traveled to the Persian city of Isfahan, where he learned many things about how to lead and govern. He also made friends with important people. While he was there, he saw how the Persian rulers were treating the Afghan people and decided that he had to do something to help.

When Mirwais returned to Kandahar, he began to plan how to free his people from Persian rule. He gathered the leaders of the different tribes and talked to them about his ideas. He told them that they needed to unite and work together to gain their freedom.

Mirwais was very brave. He led a group of warriors to fight against the Persian rulers. In the year 1709, he and his warriors attacked the Persian forces in Kandahar and won a great victory. This was the beginning of a new time for Afghanistan.

After the victory, Mirwais became the leader of Kandahar. He worked hard to make the city and its people strong and prosperous. He made sure that everyone had enough food to eat and that the city was safe from invaders.

Mirwais also knew that it was important to have good relationships with other countries. He made peace with the neighboring tribes and worked to build a strong and united Afghanistan. Under his leadership, Kandahar became a center of trade and culture.

One of the most important things Mirwais did was to create a fair system of laws. He wanted to make sure that everyone was treated equally and that justice was served. He listened to the people and made decisions that were best for everyone.

Mirwais had many children, and he taught them to be brave and wise like him. His son, Mahmud Hotak, became a great leader too. Mahmud continued his father's work and led the Afghan people to more victories.

Mirwais Hotak passed away in 1715, but his legacy lived on. The people of Afghanistan remembered him as a hero who fought for their freedom. His family continued to lead the Afghan people, and they built a strong and independent country.

The city of Kandahar remained an important place in Afghanistan. The beautiful gardens and buildings that Mirwais built were admired by everyone. The people celebrated Mirwais's life and his contributions to their freedom.

And that is the story of Mirwais Hotak, the brave leader who fought for the freedom of Afghanistan and became a shining example for all.
