Aditya,
It took me awhile to sort through all the code to find what was creating the
problem. It appears that the code for the first page of a chapter is the
culprit but I don't know why it's causing the problem.
\definepagebreak[mychapterpagebreak][yes,header,right] %eliminates headers
on blank pages
\def\ChapterTitle#1#2{
\centerline{\switchtobodyfont[ChapterStart,18pt]{\ss\bf #2}}
\godown[.5in]}
\setuphead[chapter]
[command= \ChapterTitle,textstyle=bold,header=empty,footer=empty,
page=mychapterpagebreak,
numbercommand={\switchtobodyfont[big]{\ss\sl}}]
\definestartstop
[exdent]
[before={\startnarrower[left]\setupindenting[-\leftskip,yes]},
after=\stopnarrower]
\starttext
\chapter{HangingIndent}
\startexdent
\dorecurse{10}{Para 1: Some random text to fill space}
\dorecurse{10}{Para 2: Some random text to fill space}
\dorecurse{10}{Para 3: Some random text to fill space}
\dorecurse{10}{Para 4: Some random text to fill space}
\stopexdent
\stoptext

Can you create a minimal example that does not work?
