Final answer:

A traveler from India in 1400 BCE would most likely have been a follower of Hinduism, as the Vedic religion present at that time eventually evolved into Hinduism and was the dominant religious practice.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you ever met a traveler from India in 1400 BCE, it is most likely that she would be a follower of Hinduism. This era predates the Abrahamic religions of Christianity and Judaism in the region, and Zoroastrianism had not yet gained a notable following in the Indian subcontinent. The religious climate of India during this time was dominated by early forms of Hinduism. The Vedic religion, which would evolve into Hinduism, was the primary religious practice in India around 1400 BCE. It included the worship of various deities and had a strong tradition of rituals and sacrifices, which later developed into the more organized practices and philosophical systems that characterize Hinduism.

The Indus Valley civilization, which predated this period, may have had some form of religious practice that contributed to the development of later Hindu beliefs and practices. This suggests a continuity and evolution of religious traditions on the Indian subcontinent, culminating in the Hinduism known during the time of the traveler we are considering.
