is this backbutton of browser or your own back button? Response.Redirect("index.aspx")?

I suggest do not use the browser back button for going for previous page.

Instead use your obwn navigation back / fwd and use Response.Redirect.
You can store the UrlReferrer of the current page (ViewState of the page) and on click of back button navigate to the stored UrlReferrer of the page.

You can refer to following article:

This happens because you're (presumably) doing lots of postback/refreshes on XYZ. If you want the 'back' to work, you need to do those postbacks through AJAX so the whole page isn't refreshed.

However, this isn't really a good use of the back button. Users expect 'back' to take them back to the previous page and discard anything they have done on the current one. What you want is a 'continue' link or similar which actively navigates back to Index (so the history would be Index->XYZ->Index).

You can store the UrlReferrer of the current page (ViewState of the page) and on click of back button navigate to the stored UrlReferrer of the page using response.redirect.
