Maimansingha Gitika (Bengali: মৈমনসিংহ গীতিকা, lit. 'Mymensingh Ballads') is a collection of Bengali folk ballads from the region of Eastern Mymensingh (now Netrokona) Bangladesh.[1] They were published in English as Eastern Bengal Ballads. Dinesh Chandra Sen collected the songs, and Dinesh Chandra Sen was the editor; the collection was published by the University of Calcutta, along with another similar publication named Purbabanga-gitika.[2][3] Researcher Asaddor Ali from Sylhet claimed that nine famous ballads of Maimansingha Gitika were actually related to the culture of Sylhet in origin.[4]
