I have committed myself to supporting a young man in India with his education.
This calls for my sending him money on a regular basis. Given that he is not
related to me, can I deduct the money I send him from my taxable income? Is
it possible for me claim him as my dependent?

Any information on this topic is greatly appreciated.
