About the Author

Julesa Mehar

Writing from silence, memory, and the landscapes of Rajasthan.

Julesa Mehar is an Indian author and the founder of JOOL, an independent publishing house dedicated to stories that leave a lasting impression.

Her work explores silence, identity, human dignity, and the unseen lives of people rooted in rural Rajasthan. Rather than offering simple answers, her writing invites readers to reflect on the questions that quietly shape our lives.

ROHIDA, her debut novel, draws inspiration from the landscapes, traditions, and social realities of Rajasthan. It is a story of courage, compassion, and the quiet hope that survives even in the harshest places.

Through JOOL, Julesa hopes to build a home for thoughtful literature—books that stay with readers long after the final page is turned.

A Note to the Reader

"Stories have the power to preserve memories, question silence, and remind us of our shared humanity. If ROHIDA leaves you with a question you cannot easily forget, then it has fulfilled its purpose."
