How to make django stop caching templates but not static files?

I am using django-pipeline to compress my static files, and using

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'pipeline.storage.PipelineCachedStorage'

to keep my static files hashed. But the problem is that the template index.html that includes all the static files gets cached into the browser, so keeps on including the old files and hence Cache busting doesn't work. How do I solve this problem.

I only want index.html to be not cached.

EDIT:

Here is my view function

from django.shortcuts import render

def index(request):
    if(request.user.id):
        data = request.user.profile()
        return render(request, '<app_name>/index.html', {'data': data})
    else:
        return render(request, '<app_name>/index.html')

How are you serving your files? – Timmy O'Mahony Feb 07 '15 at 13:12
I am serving my static files directly by Nginx. If thats what you mean.? – Mahammad Adil Azeem Feb 07 '15 at 14:02
what is your view like? do you have caching on that view enabled or maybe you are sending expires header in the view? – miki725 Feb 07 '15 at 16:34
I don't have caching enabled on the view and neither it is sending expire headers. I'll update the question with the view.. – Mahammad Adil Azeem Feb 08 '15 at 09:02
