The claim about a 12th-century Sanskrit inscription mentioning "Kukishthanam" as the "Land of the Kukis" does appear in the screenshot you referenced, but I couldn't verify this through any credible historical or academic sources outside of what's in that image. 

Reliable mainstream historical scholarship and epigraphic records do not recognize "Kukishthanam" as an established ancient term in Sanskrit inscriptions, and this specific assertion seems to circulate in advocacy materials without independent scholarly consensus, so it's best viewed with caution unless further concrete academic evidence emerges.
