An Indian man has become the world’s oldest father for the second time at the age of 96.
Ramjit Raghav was awarded the title two years ago when he had his first born son Karamjit aged 94.
Although he swore one was enough, the pensioner and his wife Shakuntala, 54, welcomed another son Ranjit, last month.

Speaking at his home in the state of Haryana, 31 miles from Delhi, Ramjit said: ‘What can I do? This is all God's wish. He wanted me to have another son.’
When Shakuntala gave birth to the healthy boy earlier this month at the Government hospital in Haryana, the doctors laughed when Ramjit said he was the father.
He said: ‘They just laughed but they were very surprised.’
Ramjit, who lives with his family in a studio apartment, has high hopes for his sons.

He said: ‘I have been a farmer all my life. But I want them to become high ranking government workers.
‘It's good that I have another son now. Even if one of them dies, God forbid, I will have someone to carry on my family name."
Ramjit admits that as proud as he is of having two healthy sons at his age, his neighbours are more jealous of his sex drive.

He said: ‘I do it three or four times a night. My neighbours are jealous and they keep asking me for my secret but all I tell them is that it is God's will.
‘I'm healthy and I enjoy sex with my wife. I think it's very important for a husband and wife to have sex regularly and when she asks I will go on all night but for the sake of my child I've put our needs aside for now.'
Father-of-two Ramjit claims that a daily diet of almonds, butter and milk kept him sexually active.
He said: ‘I care for my wife and I give her everything she needs. She is a very happy woman.'
When Ramjit met second wife Shakuntala, he had been a widower for 25 years.
The pair met 22 years ago on a rainy morning at a Muslim shrine, Ramjit asked her to come home with him and she has never left.
'She didn't have any family or friends around, and I wanted to help her,' he explains.
'I took her under my wing and taught her some yoga and we fell in love. Many of my past girlfriends had died so I had never married and then I asked Shakuntala to be my wife.'
Shakuntala believes she would have been dead by now if it was not for Ramjit's caring ways.
She said: ‘It doesn't matter how old he is, I love him and I care for him dearly even, though he shouts at me sometimes.
‘He doesn't seem old to me, he can make love like any 25-year-old man, even better because he can go on all night, and he makes a wonderful father.’
【大紀元2012年10月17日訊】10月5日,家住印度德裡市附近哈里亞納邦96歲的拉姆吉特‧拉加夫和54歲的妻子二度喜得貴子,他也將自己創下的「全球最老父親」的記錄刷新到96歲。96歲的老漢因再生一子躥紅網絡。
據《印度時報》10月15日報導稱,拉加夫15日對外宣佈,10月5日,他52歲的妻子誕下兩人的第二個兒子。目前母子情況良好,孩子與父母同住在城郊一個只有一間房的家裏。他對第二個兒子的到來十分得意。

報導稱,拉加夫一直奉告獨身主義,不願結婚,直到10年前碰上現在的妻子。拉加夫稱:「我們在一起之後,決定組成一個家庭,生兩個兒子。上帝恩慈,我們的願意都實現了。」
2007年,印度拉賈斯坦邦一名90歲老翁宣佈自己第21個孩子出生,他成為全球最年長父親。2010年,拉加夫以94歲高齡生子的奇蹟打破了這一記錄。
據英國《每日郵報》10月16日報導,拉加夫老人對家中再添丁一事表示:「沒辦法,這是神的期望。他想讓我再要一個兒子。」當拉加夫對產科的醫生說自己就是孩子的父親時,醫生們都笑了,表示非常驚訝。
拉加夫還表示:「我一輩子都在當農民。不過我希望我的兒子們將來能成為在政府工作的高級人員。」
拉加夫還介紹了自己的養生經驗。他說,他年輕的時候曾是一名摔跤手,每天會吃一斤杏仁、一斤酥油和三升牛奶。他終身滴酒不沾,嚴格素食。他的作息也很規律,早上5點起床,晚上8點睡覺,白天會下地幹活,中午睡1到2個小時。
