🇮🇳 Puru Pratap Singh

Hindistan'da düzenlenen ilk Doodle 4 Google yarışmasını kazandı, ancak hakkında neredeyse hiçbir şey yazılmadı.

Google arşivi doodle'ı 13 Kasım 2009 tarihine dayandırıyor ve ülkeyi belirtiyor. Bunun dışında çok az şey veriyor.

Kasım 2009'da Google, Hindistan'daki okullar yarışmasından çıkan ilk kazanan doodle'ı yayınladı. Sanatçı Puru Pratap Singh idi. Google'ın kendi doodle arşivi tarihi, ülkeyi ve yarışmayı kaydediyor ve orada duruyor: okul yok, sınıf yok, memleket yok, çizimin açıklaması yok ve ödül yok. Ulusal bir ilk için belgesel iz alışılmadık derecede zayıf.

What the archive actually records

Google keeps a public archive of every doodle it has run, and the entry for this one is short. It names the artist, Puru Pratap Singh. It gives the location as India. It carries the tag Doodle 4 Google, identifying the schools contest the drawing came from. It gives a launch date of 13 November 2009.

What the entry does not carry is everything a profile would normally be built from. There is no class or grade, no school, no city, no artist statement, no description of what the doodle depicts, no prize, and no figure for how many children entered. The image is there. The person behind it is a name and a country.

The date that does not quite agree

There is a small disagreement in the record about when the doodle appeared. Google's archive dates it to 13 November 2009. The research record compiled for this page, following the contest's usual practice in India, places it on Children's Day, which falls on 14 November.

The two claims are one day apart and both are reported here rather than reconciled. The Indian edition of Doodle 4 Google has run its winning doodle on Children's Day in later years, which makes the 14 November claim plausible; the archive date of 13 November is the one that comes from Google's own system. Where a page of this kind would ordinarily pick the likelier date, this one cites both.

What is claimed elsewhere

Secondary compilations of Doodle 4 Google winners describe Singh as a class 4 student from Gurgaon and give the 2009 Indian theme as “My India”. None of that appears on Google's archive page, and no primary source is used here to support it.

It is reported on this page as a claim with a named origin rather than as a fact, because the subject was a child at the time and the cost of getting a detail wrong about a child falls on the child. A class and a home town are exactly the kind of small facts that propagate through search results once one page states them confidently.

What is documented — and what is not

The firm facts are four: that Puru Pratap Singh is the credited artist of a Doodle 4 Google doodle, that it ran in India, that Google's archive dates it to 13 November 2009, and that it belonged to the contest's first Indian edition.

Everything else is open. There is no age, no year of birth, no school, no city, no family detail, no photograph credit, no quotation and no account of what he has done since. No source used here even describes the drawing that won. The archive entry is the whole of the permanent record, and this page does not extend it.

Why the first winner is the hardest to trace

There is a pattern in competitions of this kind. The first edition is the one with the least coverage, because the contest has not yet become a fixture that newspapers cover as a matter of routine. By the time the press decides the annual result is a story worth writing, several winners have already come and gone unrecorded.

The later Indian editions bear this out: they were announced at events, judged by named panels, reported with entry counts running into the millions, and written up in detail. The first was a doodle on a homepage and a line in an archive. Puru Pratap Singh won something that later became significant, at the moment before it was significant, which is the surest way to be forgotten by the record.
