Kaling starred in the US version of the show as well as serving as an executive producer, director and writer.
But she said the Television Academy, which oversees the Emmys, attempted to strip her of a producer's credit.
"I *was* singled out," she said. "The most junior person, and woman of colour. Easiest to dismiss."
Kaling played Kelly in the sitcom, and wrote and directed a number of episodes. She also found success with The Mindy Project, and recently starred in and wrote Late Night with Dame Emma Thompson, and wrote the Four Weddings and a Funeral TV reboot.
