Hi,
Actually you are using "RedirectToAction" method which redirect you to another action "Home" in your case. In MVC to pass data between controller methods you need to use the TempData variables and for passing data from controller method to view you can use viewbag. So in your case what you are trying to achieve can be achieved by using the following code.

public ActionResult Index1 () {
//some code logic placed here
TempData["Myvariable"] = "Some value";
return RedirectToAction("Home");
}

public ActionResult Home () {
//now you can use ViewBag (if I want to)by using TempData["Myvariable"] to fill the content to ViewBag.Myvariable
//some code logic placed here
ViewBag.Myvariable = Convert.ToString(TempData["Myvariable"]);
return View();
}

To get more clarity you can read the the difference between ViewData,ViewBag and TempData
