One Vs Many

Its an old equation, individuals poised against mobs. One guy's opinions/ideas/thoughts/creativity/expressions pitted against sensibilities/thought processes of many (say society). Whats right and whats wrong. Thoughts initially opposed vehemantly by masses themselves entrench into masses that they themselves become dogma. Is there anything absolute or has to be taken into perspectives of many parameters like time, geography, religion, society etc etc...
You may wonder what got me into this debate: It started with certain paintings, movies, plays being boycotted and people behind it being portrayed as protagonists by media to have carried banner of 'freedom of expressions'. I am firmly against those media favourites like shabana, javed, arundhati,.. list in india is very big. I think all real intellectuals should invite these media darlings to stand actual (not convenient..) point of reasoning... anyways
Freedom of expression comes with responsibilty. For an idea to come to its age, needs persuation and not brow beating.
We live in civilized society which makes laws and regulations for its own benefit. in absence of those, we still would have lived in caves. Now there might be some laws that may not be acceptable to few but still one has to follow them. similarly there are collective sensibilties and mannersims which cannot be depicted in legal or constitutional framework. Its duty of constitution to safeguard freedom to express against if any. But its responsibilty to incumbent to cater to collective sensibilties. Does that mean an artist has to sacrifice his thoughts and confirm to mass mentality. I firmly say No, he can still say what he wants to but he has to adapt and evolve just as companies do to make their product more suitable to customers.
There is a lesson here as art can be compared with any other trade to satisfy public's senses which are their customers. Art cannot be on its own when no one likes that...
they are not islands. They need to evolve and innovate to suit their audience...
But their freedom to express must be guaranteed and also its their responsibilty to meet ends..
its as simple issue, dont need to give any other connotations....
