Unfortunately Index is just not as big and popular as Haruhi. (or even Shana I think)

Index is more popular than Shana in Japan (by a good margin). It's not more popular than Haruhi. The argument can be made that Shana was more popular than Index in the west at a time due to it having been licensed and dubbed early, thus leading to it being one of the first anime many people watched in the west, but these days I peg Index as being more popular than Shana in the west due to the online community. And none of them are household names. The only real household name anime are Gundam, Dragonball, Naruto, etc.
Also, the reason why Index hasn't been licensed is because publishers learned light novels are not a popular medium in the west.
