Chandra Kumar De and 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. Researcher Asaddor Ali discovered that nine famous so-called Mymensingh Gitika were actually Sylheti in origin.
