How to root Redmi 9C (Redmi 9 India)?

As I understand I can get root access without installing a custom recovery with fastboot commands as described in the [Magisk Installation Instructions](https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html) . I have downloaded the Magisk app and under Ramdisk I do get a yes. The name of the device is indeed cattail which I have confirmed by running >adb shell in my terminal, screenshot posted: However I came across [this XDA forum post](https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-via-magisk-doesnt-work.4168263/) where it wasn't possible to get root access with Magisk and fastboot. [This post](https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-root-xiaomi-redmi-9c-functional.4200183/) appears to offer a solution but upon a little digging it seems that the instruction provided here cater to the device "angelica" but not cattail. Here is how I found out it was angelica: In the screenshot provided in the forum, you can see model name of the device is: >M2006C3MG while the model name of my phone is: >M2006C3MII Upon searching the different model names on the internet, it is quite obvious that device is different from mine. So here are my questions: # 1. Where should I download the firmware from to extract the relevant boot.img file? [1. This link](https://xiaomistockrom.com/xiaomi-redmi-9) or [2. This one](https://xiaomistockrom.com/xiaomi-redmi-9c) . I am confused because I had bought the Redmi 9 India (from Amazon) but apparently cattail is Redmi 9C. The first link(for Redmi 9) has an option having India while the second one(for Redmi 9C) doesn't. # 2. How do I even root this device? I'm unable to properly piece together all the info online and would greatly appreciate any pointers or guides. Searching for "how to root redmi 9 india" gives weird results asking to use Kingo Root and the like.
