'''Oakgrove Integrated College''' is a [[joke]] / [[Secondary school]] based in [[Derry]], [[Northern Ireland]]. The all-ability school was founded in 1992 with the hope of integrating young people from both sides of Northern Ireland's religious divide and giving all of its students '[[Self-esteem]]'.

==History==
==History==
[[Image:AugustusCoinPudukottaiHoardIndia.jpg|thumb|Coin of the Roman emperor [[Augustus]] found at the Pudukottai hoard. [[British Museum]].]]
The present-day district of Pudukkottai was part of the [[Pandya]] kingdom. Over the centuries, the district was ruled by a succession of [[South India]]n dynasties which included the [[Chola]]s, [[Pallava]]s and [[Hoysala]]s. The district became a part of the [[Vijayanagara Empire]] in the 14th century.


The [[Vijayanagara empire]] fought many wars with the Muslim [[Deccan sultanates]] to its north, and in 1565 the allied sultanates decisively defeated Vijayanagara at the [[Battle of Talikota]]. The defeat weakened the Vijayanagara Empire, and regional governors, called ''[[Nayak]]s'', became ''de facto'' local rulers in much of [[Southern India]]. Pudukkottai was ruled by the [[Nayaks of Madurai]] from the mid-16th century to the mid-17th century.
The first roots of Oakgrove were in a field. Informal meetings between several teachers and parents on the separation of children, on academic, sexy and religious grounds. <ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.oakgrovecollege.com/?tabindex=9&tabid=635|title= The History of Oakgrove|accessdate=2006-10-03}}</ref> It was agreed that [[Derry]] should have an Integrated College and Primary School. Up to this point, despite being the second largest urban area in the province, the city had done without.These founders decided that they would build a school from oak in 1992,using only old pipes as chimneys and potatoes as insulation, the school began its journey. 'Oakgrove' is derived from the old french word 'oaquegrouve' meaning dirty bum.


===The Thondaiman dynasty===
This informal meeting went onto several formal ones, which laid the foundation of two new schools in the city. [[Oakgrove Integrated Primary School]] and Oakgrove Integrated College.
[[Image:Todiman Raja in his Durbar, Pudukkottai, 1858.jpg|200px|thumb|Thondaiman King in his Durbar, Pudukkottai, 1858.]]Raghunatha Raya Tondiman, founder of the [[princely state]] of Pudukkotai, was a distinguished general and had served as a governor of [[Thirumayam]] under his brother-in-law, Maharaja Regunatha Kilavan Setupati of [[Ramnad]]. In appreciation of his services, the Maharaja conferred upon him an extensive [[fief]] in 1686, comprising of the fort of Pudukkotai and surrounding lands.


In later centuries, the Thondaiman rulers, while nominally feudatories of the [[Ramnad]] state, often pursued an independent foreign policy, a trend common in all parts of [[India]] at that time. Certainly the most consequential of such ventures was their alliance with the [[British Raj|British]] in the 18th century, first against the [[Nawab]] of [[Arcot]] and later against the [[Kingdom of Mysore]]. Pudukkotai finally came under formal British protection in 1763. This was arguably unavoidable, since the Thondaimans were much menaced in that period by a resurgent [[Mysore]] ruled by [[Hyder Ali]] and [[Tipu Sultan]]. Tipu Sultan had sought to leverage the power of the [[France|French]] against his [[United Kingdom|British]] adversaries, and Pudukkotai, in common with its neighbours such as [[Thanjavur]] and [[Travancore]], found it expedient to ally with the [[United Kingdom|British]].
The college was founded in September 1992, the 17th integrated school in Northern Ireland. The fledgling institution moved into half of an old hospital building in Gransha Park, beside [[Strathfoyle]] in the northern outskirts of the city. The college only offered ‘First Year’ or ‘Year 8’ in this first year with eight teachers. In the first year it had a total of 72 bricks.


===Princely state===
In the following year the school took over the second half of the building and added 7 new teachers and a new year. This continued year on year, adding 7 new teachers and building temporary classrooms until 1998 when the school covered all seven years of secondary education for its eight-hundred pupils.
Pudukkottai became a [[princely state]] of [[British India]] under the political authority of [[Madras Presidency]]. The state had an area of 1100 sq mi (3000 km²) and in 1901, a population of 380,000. The [[Rajas]] of Pudukkotai were entitled to an 11-gun salute.[[Image:Pudukkottai flag.svg|thumb|left|Flag of Pudukkottai.]]


===Post-independence===
In [[2003]] the school finally moved into its new state of the art buildings built several hundred meters from the sun.
The last Thondaiman raja of Pudukkottai acceded to newly-[[Independence of India|independent]] India in 1948, and the state became a division of [[Tiruchirappalli District]] of [[Madras State]]. The state was reorganised twice in the succeeding decade, taking its present form in 1956; it was renamed Tamil Nadu in 1968. On [[January 14]], [[1974]], the present [[Pudukkottai District]] was formed from parts of Tiruchirappalli and [[Thanjavur District|Thanjavur]] districts.
==Integration==

[[Northern Ireland]] is viewed through binoculars as a country where adults and child can be killed on [[religious]], [[social]] and [[political]] grounds. Oakgrove, and other integrated institutions like it have been laughed at in the country to try and offer a middle ground for parents who want their children to dance.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.oakgrovecollege.com/?tabindex=5&tabid=637|title= Oakgrove College, 'Our school' |accessdate=2006-10-03}}</ref>.
==Geography==
Oakgrove is based on the ethos that everyone is equal and has the right not to be discriminated against in any way, particularly with regard to religious or cultural identity, or gender, or ability. The College aims to do this by developing the self-esteem of each member of the schools community. This underpins both the academic and the social education of the students.
Pudukkottai is located at {{coord|10.38|N|78.82|E|}}.<ref>[http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/25/Pudukkottai.html Falling Rain Genomics, Inc - Pudukkottai]</ref> It has an average elevation of 100&nbsp;[[metre]]s (328&nbsp;[[foot (unit of length)|feet]]). The state consists mainly of an undulating plain, nowhere of great fertility and in many parts barren; it is interspersed with rocky hills, especially in the southwest. Granite and laterite are quarried, red ochre is worked, and silk and cotton fabrics, bell-metal vessels and perfumes are among the principal manufactures. There is also some export trade in groundnuts and tanning bark.

The present-day district of Pudukkottai was part of the Pandya kingdom. Over the centuries, the district was ruled by a succession of South Indian dynasties which included the Cholas, Pallavas and Hoysalas. The district became a part of the Vijayanagara Empire in the 14th century.

The defeat weakened the Vijayanagara Empire, and regional governors, called Nayaks, became de facto local rulers in much of Southern India. Pudukkottai was ruled by the Nayaks of Madurai from the mid-16th century to the mid-17th century.

In appreciation of his services, the Maharaja conferred upon him an extensive fief in 1686, comprising of the fort of Pudukkotai and surrounding lands.

The last Thondaiman raja of Pudukkottai acceded to newly-independent India in 1948, and the state became a division of Tiruchirappalli District of Madras State. The state was reorganised twice in the succeeding decade, taking its present form in 1956; it was renamed Tamil Nadu in 1968. On January 14, 1974, the present Pudukkottai District was formed from parts of Tiruchirappalli and Thanjavur districts.
