Ryotwari settlement was indeed introduced in the Southern part of India.

However, Ryotwari settlement did not bring about a system of peasant ownership; rather, it made individual peasants direct revenue payers to the state.

The statement about dues being waived off if the produce was destroyed by natural calamities does not align with the characteristics of Ryotwari settlement. Ryotwari settlements typically required fixed payments from individual peasants regardless of the crop outcome.
