Like it or not, the appointees in all the Nepalese Embassies around the world are political in nature, rather than on their level of competency. I agree 100% with Riten ! I do not think it is too much to ask...If it was an Embassy in India, Hindi might do. But, in the USA or UK for that matter, the first requirement should be "Be able to write/read English".......Welcome to the Political Zoo of our Country, Nepal !
