If you are non married, file nonresident tax return and Form 8843. If you have income during F-1, claim treaty deduction.

1040NR Page 5
Question B
If I am filling 1040 NR which is a non resident form, where should I claim my residency, even If I stayed in US for the tax year (and filing as non resident, due to F-1 status ) and never stayed in the country of my citizenship?

Since you are filing as a non-resident alien, your HOME country should the country you claim as residence for tax purposes during the tax year.
In your case, that would be India.
