Kohlberg's theory emphasizes individual rights and justice, which are values that are particularly emphasized in Western cultures. However, some cultures place more emphasis on duty and responsibility to others or on care-based morality, which could result in different moral development trajectories than those outlined in Kohlberg's theory. In addition, the inclusion of the option "the Hindu religion" in the question is irrelevant as Kohlberg's theory is not specific to any religion.
