It is true in Chennai as well. I grew up in a "flat" that was a part of the
Flat Owners Association. The people with maximum complaints were the ladies
but none of them were even on the board. It seems they would rather
influence the decisions by their husbands rather than be vocal on a formal
association.

My mother hesitantly stepped in but gave up after she was confronted by the
"men".
