It doesn't matter whether it's Indian or the other country's dog...what matters is " is the dog vaccinated?"

No matter what you have to repeat the cycle if you got bitten by dog again(as in your case ) . And if it is category b or category c then you need to check if you had immunoglobulin shot last time or not if not then go for that too !
Next Steps
Visit nearest govt hospital if you have financial strain(as many of them have dog bite department ;which is for free) else go to private hospital as soon as possible
Health Tips
Wash your wound thoroughly with soap (if dettol or savlon ,it is better) for at least ten to fifteen minutes.
