That is a great question, deserving a straightforward answer that can't be provided. The possibilities, while varied, and even unlimited as are most often one of these reasons: Ignorance, greed, prejudice, religious bias, or fear of knowledge.
Here are some examples of censorship and book burning:
Many governments or groups burn books to eliminate opposiition to their political position. Many people burn books to eliminate opposition to their philosophical position. They burn for economic reasons. They burn for nationalistic reasons. They burn for reasons of religion. Sometimes it is the result of some form of uncontrolled warfare. Sometimes they just burn for no reason at all.
Many people who are afraid of certain kinds of knowledge (or Propaganda) will find some method to limit access to that information. Historians must make every effort to preserve and protect the World's History.
There are different ways to avoid destruction and censorship. Even people who are adamantly opposed to it are often in favor of labelling... like MPAA ratings for movies, or rating lyrics for CDs, or parental controls for the Internet or Television. This allows people who *want* to censor themselves or their children to avoid content that they find offensive without taking the content away from people who want it. This avoids the idea that one group has to impose their own morality on another group... as with book burning, or banning.

Burning books in the US is banned under this rule of our constitution. because they fear that somonenwill act in result of reading the social commentary in the books , and because bruning books is a tradition that has been practiced since the invention of the printing press . and because only voilence can hurt somone one and words cannot....
There are many reasons why people resort to burning books. People usually burn books if they want to make sure they get destroyed.
