Well I and my friend were attacked by bunch of street dogs at night after coming from watching a movie. Thankfully we were on a moped (scooty) we got out without any harm . Maybe each individual has their own experience and your experience alone doesn't count as absolute truth ? |

From what I have seen, such incidents cluster into two types
i) the dogs have been habitually harassed by bikers, who hit and kick. You might have no intention of doing that but the dogs don't know that. It's bad human behavior that has trained the dogs to react like that. Unfortunately very common.
ii) these are play chases / mock chases. Their fun goes away when there is no prey that's running away. This is exacerbated by the "prey" speeding up or acting scared.
In both cases, stopping and holding your ground dissuades them if a chase is already on. Note you are considerably bigger and can inflict substantial damage to them. They are respectful when your behavior projects that belief.
If the chase is not already on, slowing down prevents the chase in the first place. They may growl and bark though.
It's only trained attack dogs, guard dogs that will commit to attacking a human holding ground.
If strays posed genuine danger the Taj Mahal hotel would have been out of business several decades ago. Instead of being a failed business it's one of the most esteemed hotels of India.
