More details to this question:
Me, my spouse and kids are all US citizens. Me and my spouse are originally from India and all our relatives including both of our parents are in India. So will my parents or sister who are Indian citizens be able to get guardianship of my kids?

The United States courts will decide if you do not write a will appointing a guardian. You hvae the right to choose who you want, and if you don't anyone who is related can apply to the court, and if they cannot agree, they can all argue with each other. It is much easier on everyone if you and your spouse write a will and choose someone.
