The saga of the Index Gangs of Wasseypur offers several lessons. Firstly, it highlights the dangers of unchecked gang power and the need for effective law enforcement and governance. Secondly, it underscores the importance of addressing the socio-economic roots of gang violence, including poverty, unemployment, and social inequality.

However, this period of fragmentation also saw the rise of new challengers, including the dreaded and feared Pandey brothers, who would eventually become the new power brokers in Wasseypur.

The 1990s and early 2000s were the golden era of the Index Gangs. Under Sultan Mirza's leadership, the gang expanded its operations, branching out into extortion, kidnapping, and murder-for-hire. The Index Gangs became the dominant force in Wasseypur, with their leaders and members holding sway over local politics, business, and even the police.
