badri man,
Unfortunately you can't as they are outside the U. S. In order to claim the parents as dependents.To be eligible, your parents must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. resident alien, a U.S. national, or a resident of Canada or Mexico. This situation doesn't apply in your case.
But keep in mind, if you send more than $14,000 in a year to the same person, gift tax rule may apply to you. Most of the time people don't realize the fact while sending the money back home.
