ng-include causes url to change from localhost/index.html to localhost/index.html#/index.html

Question

I am using angularjs and it automatically appends

#index.html to url

http://localhost/index.html so the path will look like

http://localhost/index.html#/index.html

when i commented the ng-include wrapped <div ng-include="'temp.html'></div> the url reverted back to localhost/index.html

but as i uncommented the <div ng-include="'temp.html'></div> it reverted back to localhost/index.html#/index.html

so,

1. why is it happening ?
2. is there a work-around ? so that i can use ng-include and keep the url intact .

Note : I am not using any routing
