Ramjit Raghav is reportedly the oldest father in the world. In 2012, Raghav fathered his second son at the age of 96. He first garnered international media attention in 2010 when his first son was born and Raghav claimed that he was about 94 years old at the time.
Raghav said that he was healthy enough to have children at such an old age because he has been a vegetarian for his entire life. His story became famous enough to get the attention of People for the Ethical Treat of Animals (PETA) India. PETA released a photograph of Raghav cradling his youngest son with the headline “
Vegetarians Still Got It at Age 96.”
