a ryot is a farmer or a cultivator .
The idea of the ryotwari system was from Captain Alexander Read and was subsequently developed by Thomas Munro . This is the reason why this system is also known as Munro System .
Read first tried it on a small scale .
This system was also made to move away from the idea of Permanent Settlement .
Munro felt that in the south there were no traditional zamindars .
The settlements , they argued , had to be made directly with the cultivators who had tilled the land for generations .
Their fields had to be carefully and separately surveyed before the revenue
assessment was made .
