You are well within your right to light up your room. It is not your fault.  Tell them to make a shade of the light by any object.

You may ask them to take any legal action on this because ther is no provision in law for taking any legal action on this.

However it becomes your duty also to not to disturb the neighbors for any reason.

You may ignore their complaints.

Let them go and complain about this anywhere, no complaint is maintainable.

If a neighbor’s actions continuously interfere with your enjoyment of your property, you can sue to put an end to the behavior.

Dear 

You need to take precautions that light doesn't disturb your neighbours.

If even after putting curtains over windows they are complaining then you should ask your landlord to talk to them about the issue because you need light for studying and not for partying.

They need to understand your necessity and they should also take some precautions that light doesn't disturb them.
