How to avoid an index that is part of a view

I have a query that is referencing a column in its where clause which is part of a view. The column in the view has an index which is not very selective. This index's table is a standard Oracle Apps table and therefore we can not tinker with its indices. I would like to avoid the optimizer from using the index which part of the view. How do I do it:

Thanks
