You're redirecting to login in your index view, so of course you would be redirected by clicking the home button. You should verify if the user is connected, then if its the case you don't redirect, so something like that (assuming you're using Django authentication system) :

def index(request):
    if request.user.is_authenticated :
       # Do something for authenticated users

    else:
        response=redirect('/login')
        return response
